minus-squareno banana@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·edit-21 year agoYep. It is indeed. Same with the K in knight, which was added for no fucking reason. Sweden also has an island called Öland which means island land.
minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·1 year ago“Knight” used to be pronounced with the “K.” It was always there, it’s not pronouncing it that’s new.
