neutral Sven Petersson : Prismas explanation of the word is correct. Prisma should get the KudoZ! It deserves to be noted that "Tassa" is the name of a whole product range at IKEA, including childrens furniture.

agree nhamneby : But I guess the english word would be "tip-toe"

neutral Rosseon : I agree with Prisma but the use of a word to identify a product range is more 'conceptual' than factual, surely. For example (not a great one, but...!), the Ford Focus would not require translation even though 'focus' has meaning in other languages.
