orðaröðum
Orðaröðum is an Icelandic term referring to word order. In Icelandic, word order is relatively flexible compared to languages like English, though it still follows certain patterns. The standard word order is Subject-Verb-Object (SVO), but variations are common for emphasis or stylistic reasons. For instance, it is common to place an adverbial phrase at the beginning of a sentence, followed by the verb, and then the subject (Adv-V-S). This flexibility allows for nuanced expression and poetic devices.
Verbs in Icelandic often appear in the second position in a main clause, regardless of what precedes
