Yes, "lækningajurt" for a medicinal herb, "ilmjurt" for aromatic herb,
"galdrajurt" for a herb supposed to have magic effects, etc. You may notice
these words all end in "-jurt" but I can´t really translate herb as "jurt"
because the word means plant rather than herb - for example, a vegetable is
sometimes called "matjurt".

I was dealing with problems of this sort all the time when my book was in
the editing stages. In the end, we developed a cross-referencing system that
seems to work very well - one rewiewer said that browsing the book was like
surfing the net.
