væra n

1. definiteplural ofvær (Etymology 2)

FromOld Norsevera. Cognate with Nynorsk, Icelandic and Faroesevera,Swedishvara andDanishvære.

væra (present tenseer,past tensevar,past participlevært)

1. (until 2005) Tobe.

Sincekløyvd infinitiv (lit. “split infinitive”, should however not be confused withsplit infinitive) was removed from the official Bokmål spelling rules in july of 2005,væra is no longer considered correct (seevære). However, it may still appear and is still in use in the spoken dialects of Eastern Norway. Most verb infinitives in Bokmål end in-e. Thekløyvd infinitiv system allowed a few of them to end in-a instead.
