1/ Working my way through the court records from the magistrate district of Namdalen these days.
Yesterday I stumbled upon the examination of the cunning woman Karen Erichsdatter in 1660, or as the records say: "the woman by the name of Karen Erichsdatter, who is called the wise woman."

Hunds-fot — ODS
Søgning på “Hunds-fot” i ODS. Find betydning, stavning, synonymer og meget mere i historisk dansk (år 1700-1950).
Ganske standard i ærekrenkelsessaker eller i Norge på den tiden var hundsvott. Det er tysk, fortsetter hundetemaet og er dessuten absolutt genitalsk.

Counterfactuals for the geopolitically curious. What if the script flipped? The GPS of alternate timelines. Because history doesn’t repeat—it remixes. Let’s imagine the tracks that never dropped.
