English term or phrase: geyser
What is the best Serbian translation for "geyser" ? I understand two variants exist, "гејзИр" and "гејзЕр", which one is more widespread?

Serbian translation:Гејзер/гејзир
Explanation:
Према Речнику српскохрватског књижевног и народног језика (издање Српске академије наука и уметности), том 3, оба облика су исправна и оба су у употреби. Облик "гејзер" је изведен од немачког облика "Geiser", а "гејзир" од исландске речи "geysir".
