{this sentence:
"Flora Macdonald var enligt legenderna en okomplicerad ung hoglandsflicka"
without translation leads me to the conclusion that hogland(umlaut 'o') means highland. hog=high. which leads me to the imagined early roots of high with the 'gh' glotally aspirated. which leads me to the poetic truth of the word for high, among a race of walking people, which we once were, before this dark cowardly infirm age, the truth being the wheezing sound of a poet having climbed a long steep hill.}
