Noun

- (uncommon) Greenlander, with the implication that Greenlanders are also Danes
1968, Mads Lidegaard, Det gælder Grønland:Danmark blev døbt om til Syd-Danmark og Grønland til Nord-Danmark, og folk tilsvarende til syddanskere og norddanskere, - alt i bedste mening og for at understrege samhørigheden, men dog ganske fjernt fra den grønlandske virkelighed.- Denmark was renamed South Denmark and Greenland North Denmark, and people, correspondingly, South Danes and North Danes, - all of it in the best of intentions and to emphasize together-belonging, but nevertheless quite far from the Greenlandic reality.
- (uncommon) a Danicized Greenlander
1992, Peter Høeg, Frøken Smillas fornnemelse for sne:De var de første grønlændere, der fik universitetsuddannelse. Nogle af dem har overlevet og holdt fast på sig selv. Andre - som inspektøren - er, med deres spinkle, men abnormt opblæste selvfølelse, blevet ægte, intellektuelle norddanskere.- They were the first Greenlanders to have university educations. Some of them have survived and held onto themselves. Others - such as the inspector - have, with their fragile, but abnormally inflated self-worth, become genuine, intellectual North Danes.
