ELDING
Elding means litening (sic) in both Norsk & Icelandic. The root is "eld" (Nynorsk "ild"), meaning fire, a specifically Skandi word.
What made me think of this is learning by accident that FC Lyn have just gone bankrupt from the Norse 2d Division (Addeccoliga ou quelq'chose), the Norse sesong being still in progress. And LYN also means lytning/Blitz/éclair.
Leeds Utd will be defeating SK Brann later this very month.

Norwegian word of the month
Yes, Norse fans, on the eve of Eurovision (will Norrya beat its 2009 record vote?)
this month's word is from Dagbladet.no :
kvitthvitt.
In the context it's used (Jamaican resorts compared to Tivoli gardens) it evidently means lily-white, but in the dicos (Nk, Dk, Sk) kvitt clearly comes from French quit.
Baffling.
