Name

The first element is the genitive of the name of the mountain farm Skagastølen and the last element is tind which means "mountain peak". The mountain farm (dairy farm) Skagastølen belongs to the farm Skagen in Luster and stølen is the finite form of støl which means "mountain farm". Skagen is the finite form of skage which means "headland" or "promontory" and the name is equivalent with the famous Skagen in Denmark. The word midtre means "the one in the middle".

gollark: So it's s[pqrst], I wonder what that is.
gollark: I'm looking at one of them but it hasn't cracked much.
gollark: The "current" eggs seem kind of weird; they weren't announced properly, randomly ended up in the biomes quite late, and now have weird cracks.
gollark: I assume the new current ones are somewhat xenowyrmy, since apparently they came from breeding xenos, have a similar description, and came in the same release.
gollark: I've got entirely release ones now, except for my one free unused slot.
