þjóðlegrar

þjóðlegrar is an Old Norse adjective. It is the genitive singular feminine form of the adjective "þjóðlegur". The root of the word can be broken down into "þjóð" meaning "people" or "nation" and "-legur" which is a suffix forming adjectives, similar to "-ly" or "-like" in English. Therefore, "þjóðlegur" translates to "national" or "popular" in a sense relating to the people or nation.

As a genitive case, "þjóðlegrar" would typically indicate possession or a relationship to something belonging to or concerning the nation or people. For example, it might appear in phrases like "hluti þjóðlegrar menningar" which would mean "a part of national culture". The feminine singular form suggests it would modify a feminine noun in the genitive case. Understanding the grammatical case and gender is crucial for accurate translation and interpretation of Old Norse texts. The adjective's meaning is directly tied to the concept of national identity and collective belonging.
