Doona, neat! Where's it from? In Norway, we use "dyner" (dyne+indefinite
plural) year round though sometimes one talks about "sommerdyne", which
is slightly thinner for the summer (though of course sometimeds it's so
hot one sleeps on top of it instead of hiding underneath), and
"vinterdyne", which is slightly thicker for the winter (but sometimes it
is necessary with extra woolen blankets on top, aka. "ullpledd").
