Scandinavian words abound in the popular language of those districts. 'On entering a house there, one will find the housewife sitting with her _rock_ (Dan., _Rok_; Eng., a distaff) and _spoele_ (Dan., _Spole_; Eng., spool, a small wheel on the spindle); or else she has set both her _rock_ and her _garnwindle_ (Dan., _Garnvinde_; Eng., reel or yarn-winder) aside, whilst standing by her _back-bword_ (Dan., _Bagebord_; Eng., baking-board) she is about to knead dough (Dan., _Deig_), in order to make the oaten-bread commonly used in these parts, at times, also, barley-bread; for _clap-bread_ (Dan., _Klappebroed_, or thin cakes beaten out with the hand), she lays the dough on the _clap-board_ (Dan., _Klappebord_.) One will also find the _bord-claith_ spread (Dan., _Bordklaede_; Eng. table-cloth); the people of the house then sit on the _bank_ or _bink_ (Dan., _Baenk_; Eng., bench), and eat _Aandorn_ (Eng., afternoon's repast), or, as it is called in Jutland and Fuenen, _Onden_ (dinner.) The chimney (_lovver_) stands in the room; which name may perhaps be connected with the Scandinavian _lyre_ (Icelandic, _ljori_)--namely, the smoke-hole in the roof or thatch (_thack_), out of which, in olden times, before houses had regular chimneys and "_lofts_" (Dan., _Loft_; Eng., roof, an upper room), the smoke (_reek_ or _reik_, Dan., _Roeg_) left the dark (_mirk_ or _murk_, Dan., _Moerk_) room. Within is the _bower_ or _boor_ (Eng., bed-chamber), in Danish, _Buur_; as, for instance, in the old Danish word _Jomfrubuur_ (the maiden's chamber), and in the modern word _Fadebuur_ (the pantry.)'
