Icastrian has a few words for shark. The general and scientific word is horaig [ˈhɔɾajj]. Another is förtenano [ˈfœr̥tʃəˌnano], literally "sea-bear." This term is mostly used in coastal areas where fishing and whaling are primary economic activities, as sharks are minor sacred animals in the professional-religious traditions of fishermen and whalers. In the navy, where a very different professional-religious tradition predominates, sharks are seen as loathsome creatures that portend calamity; sailors know sharks as förteangrou [ˈfœr̥tʃˌaŋgrʌʊ] (sg. förteanger [ˈfœr̥tʃˌaŋgɛr̥]), literally "sea-demons."

The world is made of many ideas,
The hopes and dreams of the weak and wondrous.
They meld and twist from what they were,
And give us the mess surrounding us.
