Fjord or Fiord is more or less the same word as Firth. It was spelled Firþ in old English. Not sure what's going on with the 'o'. It turned into Fjärd in Swedi

Fjord or Fiord is more or less the same word as Firth.
It was spelled Firþ in old English. Not sure what's going on with the 'o'. It turned into Fjärd in Swedish. At least on the east coast.
