fjord; fjeld. Fjord and the seldom encountered fjeld are the only two words in English beginning with fj. Both are Norwe- gian in origin. The latter, pronounced fyeld, means an elevated rocky plateau virtually without vegetation, and the former, pro- nounced (and sometimes spelled) fiord, is a long narrow arm of the sea running up between high banks or cliffs, as on Norway’s coast. |
