Notes
The above article suggests that már (mard-) is one word that refers to "home, family" and poetically to the "world" (Ambar)
Helge Fauskanger believes that már is unlikely to have the stem-form mard- and that the above word is actually two words: már (mar-) for "home, house", whereas mar (mard-) for "earth, world".
