Guyró

Norwegian Nynorsk nn:Gudrun Alternative forms nn Guiró Gýró alternative spellings Etymology From nn non Guðrún where the -n is lost following nationalisation of the preceding vowel (cf. non augun > nn augo). The diphthong is due to the -ð- getting a j sound before r, akin to nn veir from non veðr. Pronunciation nn [²ɡuyʷrou̯ː] Setesdal Proper noun nn proper noun f nn dialectal Setesdal nn Gudrun Usage notes Because the diphthong in this name is identical to the Setesdal pronunciation of long y, is has often been written like Gyro (i.e. nn Gýró). However, this spelling would imply it’s pronounced with /ʝ-/ (palatalisation before Old Norse front vowels) and not /ɡ-/. Related terms nn Guyri nn Guyleik nn Guymund
