Shetland use
- An Etymological Dictionary of the Norn Language in Shetland (1928–1932)
- Jakobsen, Jakob
*bjørg [bjørg], sb., rocky hill, esp. of a fairly great height. Yh. O.N. bjarg, n., mountain; rock. bjørg is doubtless the pl.-form “bjǫrg”; cf. Fær. björg, n. sing., for “bjarg”. — In the Shetl. forms bjorg [bjȯrg] and björg [björg] are found as place-names, e.g. de Bjorg (Olnesfirth Ness. Nm.); de Björg (Kokeren, Wd.), partly grass-grown, rocky formation; de Bjorgs, Björgs (N.Roe), extended, rocky, elevated ridge; de Bjorgens (Hamister, Wh.): *bjǫrgin (def. pl.) with Eng. pl.-sign “s”.
