I take the opportunity to explain another word. 5 st små päron gräftor. You can't dig for pears with a pickax. The word "päron" in this case means potatoes. In France they call them pommes de terre because they thought that potatoes looked like apples. But in Sweden we thought otherwise. Even nowadays in Ångermanland we call them "pären, pärer", "pära" in the singular. The pickax used for potatoes is really small, the blade 12 cm long and 8 cm wide, pointed.
