Each word with its meanings, its forms, and the lines it stands in.

bana

to clear (a path); forced his way; paths 11 times

bana, banade, banor, banar, banan, banas

noun, nominative, common gender, singular; verb, past, indicative, active; noun, nominative, common gender, plural

Backbone mistags this as a noun ('path'), but all four examples use 'bana' as the verb infinitive in 'bana sig (en) väg' (to clear/blaze itself a path, i.e. make its way), not the noun 'bana' (track/course).

bara

just; carried; carrying 438 times

bara, Bara, bar, bars

adverb; verb, present, indicative, active; noun, genitive, common gender, plural

Lemma tag is odd; surface 'bar' is the past tense of bära, 'to carry', also used idiomatically in 'det bar av' = 'off they went'.

bä

off; berries; carrying on 11 times

bär

lemma is really bära ('to carry'); surface bär.

bära

to carry; manages; goes off 52 times

bära, bär

verb, active, infinitive; verb, present, indicative, active

Three of the four examples use the idiom 'bär sig åt' ('manages, behaves, goes about it'), distinct from the literal carrying sense in ch33-p35-s4 ('bär på sin rygg').

be

asked; to ask; begged 67 times

bad, be, ber, bar

verb, past, indicative, active; verb, active, infinitive; verb, present, indicative, active

Surface 'bad' is genuinely ambiguous between the noun 'bad' (a bath) and the past tense of the verb 'be' (asked). Only ch03-p15-s1 is the verb sense ('asked'); ch03-p74-s3, ch16-p36-s2, and ch22-p49-s8 are all the noun 'bad' (bath/bathing), which the noun morphology tag on this key actually points to. The glosser's original gloss 'asked' fit only 1 of 4 examples.

begära

ask for/demand; ask for; asked for 19 times

begära, begär, begärt

verb, active, infinitive; verb, present, indicative, active; verb, active, supine

bekomma

trouble twice

bekomma

Archaic in the expression låta något bekomma sig: to let something affect or trouble one.

bekymra

troubled; trouble 6 times

bekymrad, bekymrade, bekymra

adjective, nominative, common gender, singular; verb, past, indicative, active; adjective, nominative, singular

Past participle 'bekymrad' (troubled), mistagged as base adjective.

bergsman

mining men; the mine owners 4 times

bergsmän, bergsmännen

noun, nominative, common gender, plural; noun, nominative, neuter, plural

Historically, bergsmän were mine-owning farmers and iron producers, not ordinary miners.

bergsmansgård

ironmaster's farm; ironmasters' farms 3 times

bergsmansgård, bergsmansgårdar

noun, nominative, common gender, singular; noun, nominative, common gender, plural

bergvidd

rocky expanse; mountain expanses; the mountain height 10 times

bergvidden, bergvidd, bergvidderna, bergvidder

noun, nominative, common gender, singular; noun, nominative, common gender, plural; noun, nominative, neuter, plural

besinna

considered; thinking 7 times

besinnade, besinna

verb, past, indicative, active; verb, active, infinitive; adjective, nominative, plural

Often reflexive, besinna sig, "to stop and think".

betrakta

watched; looked at; to look at 29 times

betraktade, betrakta, betraktat, betraktar

verb, past, indicative, active; adjective, nominative, singular; verb, active, infinitive

Actually the past tense of the verb betrakta "to look at", mislabeled as an adjective.

blåsa

blew; blow; wind 20 times

blåst, blåste, blåsa

verb, active, supine; verb, past, indicative, active; verb, active, infinitive

All four examples use 'blåst' as the noun meaning 'wind/gale' (efter all blåst, med blåst och duggregn, storm och blåst, samma blåst och köld), not as the supine of the verb blåsa ('has blown'); the type record conflates the homograph. Default gloss corrected to the attested noun sense.

blef

became twice

blef

noun, nominative, common gender, plural; verb, present, indicative, active

Historical spelling of blev in the phrase blev stående.

bleve

would become; would be; become 9 times

bleve

noun, nominative, common gender, singular; noun, nominative, neuter, singular; adjective, nominative, masculine, singular

Archaic subjunctive form of 'bli' (to become/be), mislabeled as a noun.

blick

glance; glances 28 times

blick, blickarna, blicken, blickar

noun, nominative, common gender, singular; noun, nominative, common gender, plural

blicka

glances/eyes; looked/gazed; glances 22 times

blickar, blickade

verb, present, indicative, active; verb, past, indicative, active; noun, nominative, common gender, plural

Every example shows 'blickar' as the plural noun (his/her glances/eyes), subject of 'föllo' — not the present-tense verb 'blickar' (glances/gazes). Morphology tag is mislabeled verb; the idiom is 'hans blickar föll på' = 'his eyes/glance fell on'.

bod

shop; the shop's; storehouses 5 times

boden, bod, bodens, bodar

noun, nominative, common gender, singular; noun, genitive, common gender, singular; noun, nominative, common gender, plural

'Bod' means a farm outbuilding/storehouse in rural contexts, and 'shop' in a town street.

bond

farmer; the farmer's 52 times

bonden, Bonden, bondens

noun, nominative, common gender, singular; noun, genitive, common gender, singular

lemma is the modern form bonde 'farmer'.

borra

driving; burrowed; drilling 3 times

borra, borrade

verb, active, infinitive; verb, past, indicative, active

ch04-p17-s6 uses borra for driving beaks into someone; ch43-p29-s4 uses it literally for drilling blast-holes. The fixed gloss 'to bore' does not naturally render both uses.

böra

ought to 77 times

borde, bör

auxiliary verb, past, indicative, active; auxiliary verb, present, indicative, active

Bare borde is simple past modal ("ought to"/"should"); the perfect sense ("ought to have") only appears when borde is followed by ha + supine in the sentence, as in three of the four examples — the fourth ("borde släppa taget") has no ha and translates as plain "ought to."

bröd

bread; brothers 26 times

bröd, bröderna, brödet, bröder

noun, nominative, neuter, singular; noun, nominative, common gender, plural

Lemma listed as 'bröd' (bread) but the surfaces 'bröder'/'bröderna' are the plural of 'broder' (brother); glossed by actual meaning.

bruka

used to; tends to; use 134 times

brukade, brukar, bruka, brukat, brukas

verb, past, indicative, active; verb, present, indicative, active; verb, active, infinitive

Backbone tags this as an adjective, but the surface (brukade) is the past tense of bruka, 'to usually do'.

bry

cares; to trouble oneself; bother 21 times

bryr, bry, Bry

verb, present, indicative, active; verb, active, infinitive; proper noun, nominative

Almost always used reflexively, bry sig om, 'to care about'.

bryggk

brewing vats; brewing vat twice

bryggkar

This parser bucket mixes plural bryggkar in ch42-p50-s2 with singular ett ... bryggkar in ch42-p56-s1; the plural-only gloss is wrong for the latter.

byggnad

buildings; building; buildings' 35 times

byggnader, byggnad, byggnaden, byggnaderna, byggnadernas

noun, nominative, common gender, plural; noun, nominative, common gender, singular; noun, genitive, common gender, plural
