supply Explanation: This is a guess only, but maybe the word comes from the Dutch "opbod" which means "udbud" |

levy Explanation: "alt med Opbod" > "all taxable"; "all subject to levy" WARNING: This is a guess. Chain of thought: opbod > uppbörd (Swedish) > levy My geriatric brain. |

equipment Explanation: I believe you have run into an inventory list of the items involved in this little farm. Like "indbo" which is the household items |

Try Norwegian Explanation: looks Norwegian to me, or does it specifically mention that it involves Denmark. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-11-25 18:00:14 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- mind you can\'t tell if it goes back awhile, as Norwegians spelled pretty much the same way as the Danes. It was the word etter, I noticed, which is typically Norwegian. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-11-25 18:22:56 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Well, judging by your other questions, which I see now, it apparently is Denmark. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-11-25 23:04:47 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hvis man vil ind på det bredere germanske felt, så findes der jo Aufgebot og uppbåd på tysk og svensk, men hagen er at det bare ikke passer rigtigt. Stod der intet om dette i listen over gamle danske udtryk fremtaget og forelagt af SP. |
