“It's bright pinky-white sand was made entirely of shell dust, like star dust, among which, if you sifted it with your fingers, were infant shells as small as the grains but perfectly shaped. Scattered over the surface were larger shells of many kinds and shapes, some as delicate as flower petals, others, though small, built to withstand any battering sea.”

#Faroese word for shell - #skel - sounds the same as in #English as both comes from Proto-Germanic *skaljō.

There are quite a few idioms related to #shells in Faroese:

* "sum skeljar" - said of bone-dry hay - literally means "like #shells"
*"liggja í skeljum" (lie in shells) is used when referring to something among other bits and pieces
