Einangruðum

Einangruðum is a form of the Icelandic adjective derived from the verb einangra, meaning to isolate. It functions as a participial adjective meaning "isolated" and is used to describe nouns in the dative plural. In Icelandic grammar, adjectives agree with the noun in case, number and gender, so einangruðum appears when the described noun is masculine or neuter in the dative plural, with or without a definite article.

Etymology and morphology: The form is built from the verb einangra by the standard participial/adjective paradigm. The base adjective is einangraður (masculine singular nominative), with other gender and case forms; the dative plural form is einangruðum. The same root yields einangruð (feminine/neuter or past participle) and related forms in other cases and numbers.

Usage: The form occurs primarily in formal or technical Icelandic texts, especially in contexts describing groups or objects that have been isolated. For example: til einangruðum einstaklingum (to the isolated individuals) and í einangruðum byggingum (in isolated buildings). It can appear in sociology, public health, or architectural descriptions where isolation is emphasized.
