övre
Swedish
Usage notes
- In geographic names like Övre Volta (“Upper Volta, now Burkina Faso”), upper means higher, upstream. But there is no such meaning in övre Norrland.
- The word looks like a comparative form of över-övre-överst, but över is a preposition and not an adjective.

- över
- överst
