Notes<br />
1. My thanks to curator Leif Pareli, Norsk Folkemuseum, Oslo, for sending drawing and information.<br />
2. Personal communication <strong>from</strong> Alf Næsheim Feb. 16, 2003. These dice were owned by Rasmus<br />
Nord-Varhaug (1903-1989). Næsheim adds that <strong>the</strong> dice were <strong>of</strong>ten named traltar, probably<br />
<strong>from</strong> tralta, “roll over”. In Obrestad, Hå, Jæren, one used to say “daldøs!” when throwing a<br />
double dal with <strong>the</strong> dice. The game probably got its name <strong>from</strong> this cast, cf. Michaelsen 2001,<br />
28f. This is <strong>the</strong> only place where Næsheim has seen daldøsa boards with 10 and 14 holes in<br />
<strong>the</strong> outer rows in stead <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> normal 12 (letter <strong>of</strong> Feb. 25, 2002).<br />
3. Carlheim-Gyllensköld 1900.<br />
4. Keyland 1908.<br />
5. Svensson 1933: 102. See also p. 99, fig. 7 and 8. This game was also known as kavla gullgren<br />
and spela gren, see Tillhagen 1981.<br />
6. Västerbotten 1979.<br />
7. The game <strong>from</strong> Boda, cat. no. 115.689, was donated by Nils Keyland in 1910.<br />
8. See Borvo 2001, Larsen 1950, and Carlheim-Gyllensköld 1900. A “sjakk-konge” (chess king)<br />
depicted in Omberg 1979, p.28, found during excavations <strong>of</strong> an 18th-c. Russian whaling station<br />
on Spitzbergen, may perhaps be a sáhkku king.
