Lucky for you, this Word Of The Issue focuses on some of the many ways Icelandic has for saying “one moment.” Why do they need so many ways of saying this? Maybe it’s that þetta reddast mentality, maybe it’s the constant need to adapt plans due to weather, maybe Icelanders are biologically disposed to running behind schedule — who knows? Örskotsstund is a compound of ör + skots + stund, which means arrow + shot + moment. Next time you’re running late to work, feel free to let your boss know you’ll be there in the time it takes to shoot an arrow.
