þröngra

þröngra is an Icelandic word. It is the genitive plural form of the adjective þröngur. Þröngur translates to narrow, tight, or cramped in English. Therefore, þröngra refers to the genitive plural of these concepts. In Icelandic grammar, the genitive case is often used to express possession, origin, or to indicate a part of something. The plural form indicates that the adjective is modifying multiple nouns.

Thus, þröngra would be used in a sentence to describe something belonging to, originating from, or being a part of multiple narrow or tight things. For example, one might encounter a phrase like "breidd vegarins á þröngra kafla" which translates to "the width of the road at the narrow sections." Here, þröngra modifies "kafla" (sections), indicating that these sections of the road are narrow. The word's usage is consistent with the grammatical rules of Icelandic, where adjectives agree in gender, number, and case with the nouns they modify. Understanding þröngra requires knowledge of Icelandic adjective declension and the function of the genitive case.
