The Lexical Source Manuscript (Grunnmanuskriptet)

Grunnmanuskriptet is an old dictionary manuscript from the 1930s (approximately 13500 typewritten A4 pages). The entries were collected from the dictionaries by Aasen, Ross, Schjøtt, Vidsteen, Torp and others, but the definitions for the entries are all given in Nynorsk. The manuscript was never published as a dictionary, but has provided the basis for the development of the Norwegian Dictionary (Norsk Ordbok). This manuscript has now been recorded as electronic text and marked in a way that enables the reader to find information such as dialects with their location, etymology, quotations and sources.
