Smorgas (1858); Mole (1901); Batik (1857) [my erratum]

[Beverly Flanigan]

And if he's a "real" Scandinavian (presumably Norwegian or Danish, with
-en), his surname is pronounced with a /kn/, not just /n/!  I always hated
to hear [nut] Rockne (though he may have Americanized his name).  And Leif
is [lef], I believe.
