innbyggðra

innbyggðra is the genitive plural form of the Icelandic adjective innbyggður/innbyggt, meaning built-in or embedded. In Icelandic, adjectives agree with the noun in gender, number and case, and innbyggðra appears in the genitive plural. The form is common in technical and academic writing to describe components or features that are integrated into something rather than added on.

Usage and examples: It is frequently used in discussions of embedded systems, consumer electronics, and software. Examples include: notkun innbyggðra kerfa (the use of embedded systems) and innbyggð tæki (built-in devices).

Etymology and morphology: The form derives from the verb byggja (to build) with the prefix inn- (in, within), and the participial stem innbyggð-. The genitive plural '-ra' marks the form's relationship to the noun it describes. In modern Icelandic, innbyggðra is almost always encountered in technical contexts.
