Took me a while to parse the name, forlater is a verb meaning "leaving" in Norwegian. "Jeg forlater deg" = "I am leaving you"

  Hah, to me it looked like an ASCII-fied version of the Swedish word verb meaning "forgive". "Jag förlåter dig" = "I forgive you".

    This interesting variation might explain why the Swedes so easily forgave the Norwegians for leaving (in 1905)

    Forlater means the same in Norwegian as well. Not having been back to Norway for years due to COVID I guess I'm getting a bit rusty and missed that one :p
