keðjunnar

Keðjunnar is the genitive singular form of the Icelandic noun keðja, meaning chain. It is used to indicate possession or association in noun phrases, referring to a chain in a literal sense as well as in contexts where something belongs to or is described as part of a chain.

In usage, keðjunnar appears in phrases that express ownership or relation, such as the chain’s length or the chain’s lock. For example, keðjunnar lengd means “the chain’s length,” and keðjunnar lás means “the chain’s lock.” The word keðja is feminine, and keðjunnar is its genitive singular ending, forming a standard possessive construction in Icelandic grammar.

Keðjunnar serves as a typical illustration of how the genitive case is used to create possessive phrases in Icelandic. It can combine with a wide range of head nouns to describe what belongs to the chain or what is associated with it.
