Norwegian to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Agriculture | | Norwegian term or phrase: skrapebo | | An 1865 land register described a farm in Norway as having "27.5 maal aaker, 3 maal dyrka eng, 39 maal god og 74 maal medels natureng, og 68 maal skrapebo." (The "o" in "skrapebo" should have a line through it, but computer is acting up tonight!) I'm assuming this is land of lesser quality, but unsure of a precise translation. |
