Aha! So before there were owls in the bog, there were wolves in the bog. Wolves would be a much better reason for suspicion or concern. But perhaps the wise old owls represent an awareness of suspicious deeds and causes for concern as well?
I assume you were making fun of the Danish language and not the dialect of southern Sweden. If it's the latter, it would seem that I am a descendant of people from places where language is somewhat compromised. My grandfather spoke fluent German but failed German in his high school class in New York. This always puzzled me to no end. But then I heard that the dialect of the part of Württemberg from which he came is very strange. Are you telling me that my Hällaryd relatives also spoke a strange dialect?
