Originally posted by Ramon de Ramon y Ramon: But Miss Fljotsdale, I take it that by "Flee-oeds-dalur" you are trying to represent the pronunciation based on English phonetics, but that only serves to confuse me even more: how am I am supposed to pronounce "oeds" in English ? I know of no word in the English language that contains a syllable even remotely resembling "oeds" ...

Right.
Have you heard of a tool called a 'hoe' which is used to remove weeds from a garden or field?
You 'hoe' the weeds.
When you have done it, you have 'hoe'd' the weeds.
So.... oed, as in hoe'd
