Noun
fåle c
- (archaic) a young horse (or other equine), around 1-3 years old; a colt
- Synonym: unghäst
(Can we date this quote?), traditional (lyrics and music), “Staffan var en stalledräng (Staffansvisan) [Stephen was a stable hand (The Stephen song / Song of Stephen)]”:[archaic language overall] Staffan var en stalledräng [stalldräng]. Vi tackom [tackar – obsolete first-person plural] nu så gärna. Han vattna' sina fålar fem, allt [perhaps a filler – compare Dutch al] för den ljusa stjärna. Ingen dager synes än. Stjärnorna på himmelen de blänka [plural verb form, now blänker].- Stephen was a stable hand. We now give thanks so gladly. He watered his five horses, before the bright star. No daylight is visible yet. The stars in the sky are gleaming.
Usage notes
Likely only familiar from the Christmas song Staffansvisan to many native speakers (see quotations above).
