Hi Michel,

I forgot to answer specifically on a direct question in your mail.

The exact translation of this above gives indeed sense. In Swedish it
says 'Kungshögen'or in more correct older form 'konungshögen´, 'the
king's howe' or 'the royal howe, mound, barrow'. In a broder sense
this could be transformed to the application on natural hills or peaks
as 'the king's height´' the royal height'I presume. In any case the
name gives real sense.

Salut mon ami!
Ingemar
