Comes from Old Norse. By this stage, there's been no Norse influence on
Ancient Føtisk.In Old Norse, it originally meant 'that which has been
laid down'. I've contemplated using it, but I think I might prefer
something more original (i.e. Old English is my main source for AF at this
stage and I want to be a bit different. The same, but different).
