The
neighbor farm Stølen. You have probably guessed that this is
the origin of my family name.
"Støl" means "summer farm", -en" is the
definite article. "ø" is pronounced like the vowel in English "sir".
This Danish/Norwegian letter (o-slash) (together with "æ" and "å")
is a nuisance in international communication and in some original English/American computer
programs.
