The Canal Bridge (''Kanalbrua'') is the link between Jeløya and the mainland at Moss, Norway, Moss.

Ringerike sandstone is found in some parts of Jeløya, and fossil cephalaspids have ...

Former Municipalities Of Norway
This is a list of former List of municipalities of Norway, municipalities of Norway, i.e. municipalities that no longer exist. When the local council system was introduced in Norway in 1837-38, the country had 392 municipalities. By 1958, the number had grown to a total of 744 rural municipalities, 64 city municipalities as well as a small number of small seaports with ''ladested'' status. A Schei Committee, committee led by Nikolai Schei, formed in 1946 to examine the situation, proposed hundreds of mergers to reduce the number of municipalities and improve the quality of local administration.

This number continued to slowly decrease throughout the remainder of the 20th century. By January 2002, there were 434 municipalities in Norway, and Erna Solberg, Minister of Local Government and Regional Development ...

Suffix
In linguistics, a suffix is an affix which is placed after the stem of a word. Common examples are case endings, which indicate the grammatical case of nouns and adjectives, and verb endings, which form the conjugation of verbs. Suffixes can carry grammatical information (inflectional endings) or lexical information ( derivational/lexical suffixes)''.'' Inflection changes the grammatical properties of a word within its syntactic category. Derivational suffixes fall into two categories: class-changing derivation and class-maintaining derivation. Particularly in the study of Semitic languages, suffixes are called affirmatives, as they can alter the form of the words. In Indo-European studies, a distinction is made between suffixes and endings (see Proto-Indo-European root). A word-final segment that is somewhere between a free morpheme and a bound morpheme is known as a suffixoidKremer, Marion. 1997.
