    “Meitemark” in Norwegian. Which is a strange word when I considered it, so I looked it up. Meite is the word for fishing with edible/biological bait. So that makes sense.

    Meite probably comes from norse “meita” from cut/slice from the meaning to do a stabbing motion.

    This makes no sense.
