s are pronounced much as in
Italian.

aa = long o, as in "post" or "pole."

e final is sounded, as in German; thus Louise, Merle, etc.

d final is nearly always elided; thus Raastad = Rosta'.

g before e or i is hard; thus Ringeby, not Rinjeby.

j = the English y; thus Bojer = Boyer, Jens = Yens.

l before another consonant is sounded; thus Holm, not Home.

CURRENCY

The unit of currency in Norway is the crown (krone), which in normal
conditions is worth something over thirteen pence, so that about
eighteen crowns go to the pound sterling. Thus Peer Holm's fortune in
the Savings Bank represented about L100 in English money, and a million
crowns is equivalent to about $260,000 in American money.

To avoid encumbering the reader unnecessarily with the details of
Norwegian currency, small amounts have been represented in this
translation by their equivalents in English money.
