  1. The #Faroese word #epli originally meant #apple (and still does in biblical and poetical context). However, over time it became the term for #potato (otherwise termed #jørðepli = ground apple).

    The “súr-“ prefix comes from the adjective #súrur (sour). The word #epli can thus be literally translated as "sour potato".
