This looks like pure coincidence, yet I am curious. Does anyone know what "mallior" means in Swedish?

Hi MarcoP,

I asked to a Swedish friend.
He said to me it's not pure swedish.
In fact, it's another scandinavian language ; it's icelandic.

I have to search the accurate dictionnary to understand this word (mallior)

You will find many examples of it if you use modern spelling "maljor". Here is an example which shows the word and also the metal embellishments (not as fancy as they used to be) on folkdräkter/folkedragter (folk dress, the traditional clothing):

"Just nu googlar jag livstycken, yllebroderi och maljor..."

Translation: Just now I Googled bodices/vests, wool-embroidery and "maljor" (the metal embellishments)..."

I can read Scandinavian without looking at a dictionary as long as it's not too technical.


In Spanish, "You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view." refers to various kinds of metal embellishments used on belts, neck jewelry, clothing, and leather, and "mallior" appears to be the medieval spelling for the Scandinavian "You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view." for similar kinds of metal embellishments.
