Re: Hufsa? Camilla Send a noteboard - 13/09/2010 07:33:17 PM
That took a bit of thinking. It's Mårran is Swedish and Mörkö in Finnish. Hufsa just doesn't sound right.

It does, too!

It is a personification of chill and winter/autumn. That name presents that perfectly.

Not to my ears, but I don't speak norska.


Well, when you are cold and/or scared, you can say "huff" or "huffamei", and it also joins with the word "hustrig" which means that it is cold and wet, weather that will make you shake. I am sure I could also call that kind of weather (especially if it is windy) "hufsete" as well.

My main problem with Mörkö is the gender. Everybody here thinks it's a he.

But she has a handbag!

A man-bag I must've missed that.

The Finnish voice actor is a man with a deep voice. See link, it was the only one I could find.


Huh. I have no idea what she sounds like in Norwegian. I was too busy being terrified, hiding behind people and generally sticking fingers in my ears.

What monsters are scary?

Well, nothing natural is. I watched Jaws (Tappajahai) when I was eight. No biggie. It's the mangled bodies and crazy serial killers (Voorhees, the Dutch name terrifies me) that scare me. But it's sort of a nice feeling. I love horror films.
