Swedish term or phrase: abba
I "Doktor Glas" av Hjalmar Söderberg står följande:

"... då jag satt i familjebänken vid min salig mors sida och för första gången såg denna förskräckliga fysionomi skjuta upp i prediktstolen som en otäck svamp och klämma i med sitt abba, käre fader."

Någon som vet vad "abba" betyder?
