Correct, Rune, that would be an exact translation.. I almost expected the word "helbrägdsgörare" wich is an even more obscure term sometimes used swedish. But we can discuss scandinavian language some other time Now back to the original discussion...

But if people aren't convinced by Squatter's proof and linguistic parallels, maybe a look into the different translations in different countries can shed some light to what the word is supposed to be? At least according to the translaters.
