User:Jaaari has been with us one year today. His excellent contributions focus on Finnish translations as well as (much needed) translation section cleanup. Having the button I'm sure will help him to clean some things up better, faster and easier. --Connel MacKenzie 00:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

• Made a sysop today, if I typed the right number of a's - is it Icelandic that has a word with four ä's in a row? It's in the Guinness Book of Records... "jääääre", I think, meaning "the edge of the ice". Does "Jaaari" mean the same in Finnish? — Paul G 16:47, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

  No, Jaaari doesn't mean anything in Finnish (see User_talk:Jaaari#Thanks) and the edge of the ice would be "jään reuna". There are, however, some Finnish words that have three a's in a row, for example the inflected forms of vaaka. --Jaaari 10:27, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I think the word is jäääär, jäääärne, and it’s Estonian. —Stephen 15:02, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
