In Norse and Norwegian both, hug
means "memory". Norse hugsa
and Nynorsk hugse
is "to remember".
Is there a reason that s
was attached? I can't think of any other verbs derived from nouns in this way. How did hugsa
evolve to huske
, which is how it's written in Bokmål? Presumably that's some kind of metathesis, but I haven't seen that anywhere either.
