“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.
We call them “rainworm” too in German
In Dutch also 🙋♀️
Danish as well

This makes no sense.
It’s like in French where pretty much everything is a kind of Apple.
So a potato is a “ground apple”
Same in Austria german: Erdapfel
In Dutch also 🙋♀️
Do we get bonus point now? :)
Incidentally potato is called that in old dialected Norwegian as well(Archaic as its not really used anymore)
Daggmask in Sweden. Mask for worm, dagg for moisture on the ground
