The interesting thing about “Algvandringen” is that you can hear “Elk wandering” in it, showing the evolutionary similarities of two Germanic languages.

Elk meant moose until English speakers came to north America and started calling wapitis for elk. A lot of animals in areas that was colonized are named like that.
