Etymology
From Proto-Samic *nuorttē, borrowed from Proto-Norse [script needed] (*norþrą, “north”) (see Proto-Germanic *nurþrą). The words for cardinal directions in the Sami languages are rotated depending on the language, based on the terrain surrounding the areas in which each language was traditionally spoken (roughly following the northern coastline of Scandinavia and the Kola Peninsula); in more western Sami languages, the word means “north”, while on the eastern fringes it means “south”.
