I disagree with the etymology given here and on other entries beginning with veder-. The Swedish word might be analysed to consist of the parts "veder" and "lag", but the term originates as a Swedishisation of the MLG word "wedderlach" (via Old Swedish "vidherlag"). These etymologies falsely suggest that the compounds were formed natively. ✎ HannesP · talk 16:21, 6 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
