Title
And codfish, flesh of what Swedish man leaves without any water...
Translation
English

Translated by Aneta B.
Target language: English

And codfish, the flesh of which Swedish people keep dry.
Its name comes from a goitre located in the gullet.
Remarks about the translation
•“flesh” or “body”

•Latin “struma” = goitre (BrE), or goiter (AmE)), also called a bronchocele.

“Strumulus” comes from “struma” – in English translation unfortunately we can’t notice the etymology.

•“gluvieque” (not: gluviaeque!) probably is from “ingluvies, -ei” - the esophagus or oesophagus, sometimes known as the gullet

As you asked, Anganthyr, I answer:

Germ. Stockfisch, Eng.codfish (you must find a word "strumulus" in index on the left)

It wasn't easy to find some words (not classical Latin), but I hope it is a good translation.

Hi Aneta,
This is really weird

Could this convey the meaning?:

"And codfish, the flesh of which Swedish people keep dry,
Its name comes from a goitre located in the gullet."

Yes,the Latin text also is weird and difficult a bit. I tried to translate it literally, but it wasn't a good idea how I can see now...

Thank you for improving it, Lilly. Yes, this is just a meaning of the text...

Hallo all
I will say from the circumstances that the translation fit good.

The way to keep the fish dry is a common method (still in use) in Scandinavia to preserve fish
Sw: "lutfisk". In English "stockfish". The fish is actually dried by hanging on stocks

Then Condrad Celtes (who is the author) is just describing about the use of codfish to solve problem with goitre, (who make the throat magnified) and make here some etymologic thinking that the latin name of codfish "strumulos " had come out from the desease "struma"

// the "questioner..."
