ileuskammen

Ileuskammen is a toponym that appears in Norwegian-language place names and literally combines ileus or a similar root with kammen, the Norwegian word for "the ridge" or "crest." As a compound, it is typically used to denote a linear, elevated landform such as a mountain ridge, arête or rocky spine that is prominent in local terrain.

Specific occurrences of the name vary by region; like other -kammen names, Ileuskammen may refer to a named summit, a coastal ridge, or a landmark used in local navigation and mapping. Features with this naming convention are commonly found in Norway and Norwegian territories, and they often have significance for outdoor recreation, local history, and geological description. Typical descriptions of such ridges note steep slopes, exposed bedrock, and habitat differences between ridge crests and adjacent valleys.

Etymology of the first element (Ileus, Ileu-, or similar spellings) is uncertain without reference to local records; it may derive from an old farm name, a personal name, a dialect word, or an older Norse or Sámi term. The name should not be confused with the medical term "ileus," which denotes intestinal obstruction and is etymologically unrelated.

For precise location, elevation, and historical information about any specific Ileuskammen, consult national mapping services (Kartverket), local municipal place-name registers, or published regional guides.
