Which word begins with “y” and looks like an axe in this picture? (2017)

  I have no idea why someone suggested the swedish word for axe. That would make a whole lot of the other letters not match their pictures.

    Dan Bron's accepted answer is rather lengthy and surprisingly interesting, given the subject matter. I find it very persuasive.

    For example, a Swedish company might have made an English version of an existing Swedish ball and mistakenly failed to change one image.

  I was intrigued, since it was mentioned in the answer that a HN commenter had helped, meaning it was on HN before.. previous discussion (from 30 June 2017) here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14670306 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14670306
