Where this word comes from
Once variants (“tvímyndir; a different spelling, pronunciation, or form of the same word”) of foreldri (“a parent”). It is rare that a word's gender differs between grammatical numbers, but modern dictionaries generally list them as two distinct words — even though their form and declension is similar. The reason for this disparity in usage is the masculine word's lack of singular form.
