Usage notes[edit]
- The word ulv was taboo in older Swedish. It was therefore replaced by the word varg, originally meaning ”criminal, evildoer”, but which is the standard word today. Dialectally and historically, a variety of taboo replacement words were in use, e.g. gråben (“grey-leg”), tasse, etc.
