   • 1968, Mads Lidegaard, Det gælder Grønland

     Danmark blev døbt om til Syd-Danmark og Grønland til Nord-Danmark, og folk tilsvarende til syddanskere og norddanskere, - alt i bedste mening og for at understrege samhørigheden, men dog ganske fjernt fra den grønlandske virkelighed.

     Denmark was renamed South Denmark and Greenland North Denmark, and people, correspondingly, South Danes and North Danes, - all of it in the best of intentions and to emphasize together-belonging, but nevertheless quite far from the Greenlandic reality.

2. (uncommon) a Danicized Greenlander

     De var de første grønlændere, der fik universitetsuddannelse. Nogle af dem har overlevet og holdt fast på sig selv. Andre - som inspektøren - er, med deres spinkle, men abnormt opblæste selvfølelse, blevet ægte, intellektuelle norddanskere.

     They were the first Greenlanders to have university educations. Some of them have survived and held onto themselves. Others - such as the inspector - have, with their fragile, but abnormally inflated self-worth, become genuine, intellectual North Danes.
