The first lesson says Ð is only included for completeness' sake because it can't start a word in Nynorn. Actually, I can think of two times it might be used: 1) A word printed in all capitals (like a title of a chapter, etc.) 2) As an abbreviation, e.g., items in an outline: A. first item B. second item D. third item Ð. fourth item |

I purely agree with you! In most languages such 'additional' letters are disregarded in many respects, but Nynorn will NOT be the case  Ð, Å and Ø (and dialectally Æ and Þ) will have the same rights as the rest of the letters, not least as in the case 2). Thanks for pointing this out!

This is how I always imagined Faroese'd use it... Sadly, (at least I think so), most people use: A. 1st item B. 2nd item C(!). 3rd item D. 4th item I've myself begun using either numbers (or Roman numerals) or the proper Faroese alphabet: A. Á. B. D. Ð. etc. |
