-- In my central northern norse dialect we have the
adjective 'anntom' which means 'in a hurry'. It's really a compound
of 'ann-'(meaning 'harvest') and '-tom' (meaning '(free) time'). Of
course, we have 'høyonn' also (pronunced 'høyann', and it is a
feminine noun).
German 'ernte' is cognate with norse 'ann'. 'Heu-ernte' is therefore
cognate with norse 'høy-ann'.

I quote August Strindberg here:
"Bröllopet skulle stå mellan höanden och skörden, då det alltid var
en liten stiltje i göromålen."
(Hemsöborna, 1887)
