Tangent, how does “mullvad” sound to native speakers (and non-natives too)? I can’t tell why, but it feels like such an unfortunate combination of phonemes that I avoid even looking into it subconsciously. Can barely force myself to pronounce it, is that just me?
To native Swedish speakers it will look and sound like just another common Swedish word. And in the context it will even sound like a relevant choice of name.
/me is Danish, and the Danish equivalent would be ‘muldvarp’.
