tryga

• trudja, truga, tröga
• truv m, tryv m, trög m

Inherited from Old Norse [Term?]. Compare Icelandic þrúga f (“human snowshoe”), Old Norse þrjúgr m and Norwegian Nynorsk truge f (“human snowshoe”). The Norwegian word in some areas had original use as the Swedish one, but now means a snowshoe made for humans (not horses). May be related to English trudge.

   Synonym: snösko

4. synonym of truga (“basket (usually disc-like piece attached near the bottom of a ski pole to prevent it from sinking too deep into the snow)”)
