"puss" in Icelandic ? Swedish ?

The local U. library has no large Icelandic dictionary, but I consulted
three medium-sized Icelandic-English ones: no "pussa" = "vulva". No
surprise; other 'obscenities' weren't there either.

Norwegian and Danish have "pus" for "kitty" or "bunny" -- about like
English AFAIK.

Swedish has "mus" (inter alia) for the female pudendum (says the book) --
basically "mouse".
