Understand, also, that the second right-hand goose is Kolmi from Sarjektjakko, and the second, left, is Neljä from Svappavaara; and behind them fly Viisi from Oviksfjällen and Kuusi from Sjangeli! And know that these, as well as the six goslings who fly last three to the right, and three to the left are all high mountain geese of the finest breed!
Yes, there were Akka, Iksi, Kolmi, Nelja, Viisi, Knusi, all the six goslings, the goosey-gander, Dunfin and Thumbietot; but Kaksi from Nuolja, the first left-hand goose, was missing and no one knew anything about her fate. When the wild geese discovered that no one but Kaksi had been separated from the flock, they took the matter lightly. Kaksi was old and wise.
g, when followed by e, i, y, ä, ö, is also like y. Example, Göta is pronounced Yöta. When g is followed by a, o, u, or å, it is hard, as in go. k is hard when it precedes a, o, u, or å. Example, Kaksi, Kolmi, etc. ä is pronounced like ä in fare. Example, Färs. There is no sound in the English language which corresponds to the Swedish ö. It is like the French eu in jeu.
The boy and the geese had barely raised themselves into the air, when they caught a glimpse of a high mountain, with almost perpendicular walls, and an abrupt, broken-off top; and they understood that this must be Taberg. On the summit stood Akka, with Yksi and Kaksi, Kolmi and Neljä, Viisi and Knusi, and all six goslings and waited for them.
