Miscellaneous neologisms

nanometre: hármýrjungur (In nanotechnology, the nanometre is most often refered to a technology that operates at the scale of ten thousandth of the breadth a human hair. The 10.000th part (mýrjungur from mýrio- 10.000th part, like þriðjungur). It is unnecessarily to use the full compound "hárbreiddarmýrjungur-" because when referring to comparisons in magnitude, "hair" is always used with reference to its breadth, because hair-lenght may vary greatly (cfr. the word for "capillary" is formed with hár (hárpípa). http://www.nanodic.com/General/Nanometer.htm and the term "hair-breadth" is informally used for ten to the minus fifth metre (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair's_breadth )
nanotechnology: hármýrjungstækni: Of course, nanó- and the loan-translation dverg- is shorter, but hármýrjungs- is an uninternational, alternative approach that describes its smallness more thoroughly
nanorobot: hármýrjungsþjarki, vélögn

angström: örmýrjungur (The "micro-scale (ör-) myriadth (mýría (10.000), mýrjungur, the 10,000th part, like þriðjungur). It is unnecessary to add 'stika' or 'metri' to denote this unit of lenght because the ångström is the only name in use for a "ten billionth of a basic unit". There can't be any mistake whatsoever here.)

Nanosecond: ljósfet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_units_of_measurement see under the paragraph of "light-nanosecond") When you combine the word light with the name of a time-unit you express a distance (lightyear), when you combine light with a unit of lenght you express a time-frame: ljósfet (the time light needs to travel a distance of 1 foot. This is so extremely close to a nanosecond that ljósfet can be used to express the time-frame of a nanosecond.)

barn: kjarnekra (barn (symbol b) is a unit of area defined as 10 to the −28 m2 (100 fm2) and is approximately the cross sectional area of an uranium nucleus.)

outhouse (1 millionth of a barn, rarely used in practice): öreindarreitur

shed (10−52 m2, or 1 yottabarn, rarely used in practice): niftlumýrjungsreitur (a typical neutrino (niftla, físeind) cross section is some ten thousand sheds. mýrjungur = a 10.000th part, from mýrío- 1/ 10.000, Icelandic mýría- + -ungur, as in þriðjungur)

planck area: plakkneskur teigur, teiglingur, reitur, reitlingur, reiteind

Hubble parametre: Hugbeldringsstika (The surname Hubble derives from Hugbald (Icelandic Hugbaldur), so the family name for one individual of the Hubble family (Hugbeldringar) becomes Hugbeldring(ur) + -s +stika (parameter)

Jurassic Park (movie)
1) Skriðrisagarður (sounds better and more elaborated than risaeðlugarður)
2) Miðlífsgarður (The most prominent and sensational of all beasts presented in the movie, the tyrannosaur Rex, is actually a LATE CRETACEOUS species, not a strictly JURASSIC one, so this gives us a reason to refer to the entire mesosoic era and use Miðlífs- (Mesozoic) in the Icelandic translation of the movie's name. Still, this doesn't completely renders "Jurassic" inappropriate a term in this case. Apart from its function as a strict designator of the "central mesozoic epoque", it can also be used in a broader or let's say more popularized sense of "anything that has to do with the largest land animals that ever lived". And indeed, the largest of dinosaurs came about in the Jurassic.)

Vosges Mountains:
1) Vasgáfjöll (Exonym mentioned in the first volume of the Icelandic magazine Gefn from 1870, probably an icelandification of German exonymic equivalent Wasgenwald) http://timarit.is/view_page_init.jsp?pageId=2043282
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vogesen
2) Veiðiguðsfjöll (The construction veiðiguð (hunting god) is phonetically similar enough to the name of the Celtic hunting-god Vosegus, whom the mountain range was called after, that we can, in my opinion that is, construct an Icelandic exonym from it)
2) Frakkneskur Svartiskógur (Because it has the same geological characteristics as the Black Forest on the other side of the Rhine).

sea mile (sjómíla): hnútstund (knot-hour) The knot (pronounced not) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile (which is defined as 1.852 km) per hour, approximately 1.151 mph. This means that the term 'knot-hour' is equal to a seamile.

Stalinism/ Stalinist: Stælinsstefna/ Stælinssinni (The Russian name Stalin means 'man of steel'. The Icelandic adjective stælinn (hard, stiff, but also quarrelsome, argumentative) is derived from stál (steel). We can use the adjective as a surname to denote the russian dictator: Stælinn)

kamikaze: hrapherjabylgja

nazism/ nazist (person)/ nazist (adj.): þjóðherjastefna, aðylfingastefna/ Þjóðherji, Aðylfingur / þjóðherja-/ aðylfskur (A friend of mine told me that þjóðherji wouldn't exclusively apply to 'nazism' but also to 'Prussian', which were known for there militarism, but I disagree: the first element in the term 'national socialism', nationalism translates as 'þjóðerni' in Icelandic, which has the same first element þjóð in þjóðherji. The masculine personal name Adolf consists of the elements athall (noble, Icelandic Aðall) and wulf (wolf, Icelandic úlfur or -ólfur). The full name would be Aðalúflur or Aðalólfur, but the most sound-similar adaptation is to contract it to Aðólfur. The names of family members AND FOLLOWERS of Aðólfur are called Aðylfingar, which can be used for all national socialists. The adjective derivation 'nazist' or 'nazistic' becomes aðylfskur.

Switzerland, Swiss: Gnáfylkin, Gnáfold (compare adj. foldgnár), Gnáfylkjamaður, Gnáfylkja- (after the epiteth 'roof of Europe')
