peer agreement (net): +1haywagon Explanation: More standardised form "håvvagn" - explained in reference "Släktkrönika" found here: https://www.google.se/?gws_rd=ssl#q=håvvagn Good picture in Wikipedia under wagon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2016-02-14 09:39:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It seems this type of wagon or cart could also be called a ladder wagon - various references if you google "ladder wagon" "farm wagon". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2016-02-14 10:49:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And I guess that the "håv" is actually the word that means a net to catch something with, like a butterfly net - "fjärilshåv", so perhaps the ladder sides are seen as acting as a net to catch the hay? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2016-02-14 10:55:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- So that was probably wrong - but here we have the håvevagn in Thomas J's excellent reference source (for drätter) - here is the entry for håvevagn: http://runeberg.org/dialektl/0308.html |
