note: directly translated, âtilfredsâ would be something like âto-peace.GENâ. Itâs one of the few places in the Norwegian language where we can still see traces after the lost genitive case. Similar constructions are âtil fjellsâ (to the mountain), âtil sjøsâ (to the sea) and âtil havsâ (to the ocean).Â
