Fyord

No-one spells it fyord. Fyord doesn't even redirect here. This book cited in the article says: "The OED gives precedence to fi-. The other spelling is apparently used in English to help the ignorant to call it fyord; as, instead of helping, it only puzzles them, it should be abandoned". Clearly that means that in the 1920s the OED actually considered the fiord spelling to be the standard and the author notes the word was being incorrectly pronounced as fyord (due to a mistaken sight reading of fjord), not spelled as fyord. Fiord should be bolded as the article redirects here. --81.158.79.21 (talk) 13:41, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what your suggestion is here. Fyord isn't even mentioned in the article. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 19:53, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fjord in Maine

According to Your Guide to the National Parks, “The park and Island are nearly split in half by a natural, glacially-carves barrier, Somes Sound. It is the only fjord on the U.S. Atlantic Coast.” 217.180.228.133 (talk) 13:12, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

split article into two

This article refers to a general geographic term but also goes in depth to fjords of Norway. Presumably because that is the nation inventing the term. However it is confusing when this page is linked (for example freshwater fjords from lake Okanagan from ogopogo) and it's all about Norway instead of general land shapes. I therefore propose we have 2 articles: one about physical geography and one about the Norwegian context. Sound reasonable? Rusl (talk) 10:31, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
