| ‘The Pleasing One, ‘the Beautiful One’ and ‘the Companion’, ‘the Friend’. The stem ‘pinnar(naq)-’ originally had two meanings, ‘likeable’ or ‘easy to deal with’ and ‘Beautiful one’. (Fortecsue et al. 1994:262). The ending -luk is common in Greenlandic names (Pipaluk, Inequnaaluk, Aakkuluk, Aqqaluk, Kuluk, Mikisuluk, f.ex.) as a designation for a small person (child) who seems so insignificant, but sweet and irrististible at the same time. | ||||||
