In Iris Murdochs The Unicorn we may find this nice passage: They had jested together in a sophisticated way about the fact that one starts Greek by saying ‘I loose’ and Latin by saying ‘I love’. Since these verbs are short and easy to decline, they are always put in the grammatical tables. The first word that I see in a faroese grammatical table is stjóri, which means [rope with which people or goods are hauled ashore el. on board]. So this is how I should start Faroese, it seems.
