GnejsSep 3 2006, 04:19 AM thanks! a post should be on it's way up now!
regarding the name.. how to say it.. hard to explain in written text.. In swedish you just pronounce it the way it's spelled. Gnejs is actually the swedish name for the type of rock I think is called gneiss in english. The reason for the name is quite simple.. I work in a real estate agency and have a poor imagination when it comes to making up names. Gnejs is taken from the adress of one of our houses we sold a while back. Gnejsv?gen in swedish, in english it should read something like Gneiss Road. my foreign minister Winborg got his surname from the adress Winborgs v?g. The christian democratic leader Richard Garve got his surname from the street Garverigr?nd (have no idea how to translate it to english!)
hope that clears things up a bit

OK, cool
After some wikipedia-ing, I think I got it.
The reason I asked is so I could add you to a list on my Alv?sin language NSwiki page, and to do that, I had to know how to say it
