Baldur Bjarnason on Nostr: npub14fhjg…6w7dd npub1e5npk…gtw8w npub1hzhhy…g3ezg Geisladiskur. It means ...

npub14fhjgq527j4zzy9g5vdyfe0ka9jq09r0y6x0dfqp4ta04wkhugwsn6w7dd (npub14fh…w7dd) npub1e5npkucyyjryz4rq7espqw85yvzjz7y4lyv25frgjau365ppaarsugtw8w (npub1e5n…tw8w) npub1hzhhy0c9m0pc2tq40x7x5ek5e53mk2q3dhyh4rcjdkegza9c6dnqng3ezg (npub1hzh…3ezg) Geisladiskur. It means “ray plate”. Tho you could also translate it as … laser disc 🙂

And yeah, we usually just jam words together with wild abandon to create new ones. Most languages to this to some extent tho (“smartphone”), but we do it a bit more in Icelandic

Like “social media” is “félagsmiðlar” or “social media” jammed together into one word 😄

Another example is “nýsköpun” which means “innovation” but is literally just the words “new” and “creation”
