If D. in his mind had just shifted some letters, it would have been clearer to see for a Swede,
pangarööv then becoming
bankröveri 'bankrobbery'. We use
bankrån in current Swedish, but
rövare 'robber' and
röva 'to rob' are still frequently occurring, likaså
rov 'loot' and
roffa 'to rob'. Swedish and Estonian seem to share many words, yet are still totally incomprehensible to each other.

(Ovanstående var förut, nu försöker jag minska sockret och saltet, och har gett upp mejeriprodukter.)
