Wrong interpretation of the name

[edit]

The given Swedish/Danish name "Bo" means "bofast"; in English: "resident", in contrast to nomad/hunter/gatherer. Refer to Bauer, Boer, George, Gregorius. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.229.3.63 (talk) 01:26, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"To live"

[edit]

"to live" means "att leva", not a good interpretation of the name, unless only resident people in Sweden/Denmark could live. It means plainly "resident", nothing else.

"Bo" means resident, like a farmer is. So he is not a hunter/gatherer/nomad. Simple as that.

What's a Scrahole?

[edit]

Third name in the list, "Bo van Leijden (1998), Dutch Scrahole". I can't find what a "Scrahole" is, seems to be a typo, but I don't know what the correct word should be, either. Smuecke1 (talk) 08:47, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
