Martin Rundkvist on Nostr: Got a fun question about 19th century Swedish song lyrics from my colleague's ...
Got a fun question about 19th century Swedish song lyrics from my colleague's charming wife. Turns out the word she wonders about, a bird named "vakan", was last attested in a 1915 poem by a Finland Swede. Their dialect is highly archaic.
