Swedish term or phrase: skavfötters
... Vi smög oss till köket. Köksan och pigans sovrum låg intill och jag sov skavfötters i sängen med köksan den natten.

Ich verstehe zwar, was hier gemeint ist, aber leider fällt mir nicht ein, wie man es geschickt und prägnant auf Deutsch formulieren könnte.
Wer kann mir auf die Sprünge helfen?
Vielen Dank!
