mind you can\'t tell if it goes back awhile, as Norwegians spelled pretty much the same way as the Danes. It was the word etter, I noticed, which is typically Norwegian.

Hvis man vil ind på det bredere germanske felt, så findes der jo Aufgebot og uppbåd på tysk og svensk, men hagen er at det bare ikke passer rigtigt. Stod der intet om dette i listen over gamle danske udtryk fremtaget og forelagt af SP.
