"At toto Thori die hominibus ungues secare minime licuit."

—Finn Magnusen, Lex. Edd., s.v. Thor.

In the district of Bohnsland, in Sweden, in the middle of the eighteenth century, it was not thought proper to fell wood on the afternoon of Thursday. (Id.)


"Many slones [sloes], many groans,

Many nits [nuts], many pits."


"When the aspen leaves are no bigger than your nail,

Is the time to look out for truff and peel."
