- 1938, H. U. Sverdrup, Hos tundra-folket:
- Senere traff jeg Næånpækjin, den mystiske konen (...) og fikk snart vite at «hun» slett ikke var en kone, men en mann som (...) hadde bestemt sig til å gå i kvinneklær, leve som en kvinne og anta navnet Næånpækjin. Lang tid efterpå fikk jeg en forklaring: vedkommende er homoseksuel, og mine venner kunde dessuten regne op 3 andre menn som også gikk klædd i kvinneklær.
- Later, I have meet Næånpækjin, the mystical mistress (...) and soon got to know that «she» was simply not a woman, but a man, who (...) decided to go in woman clothes, live as a woman and take the name Næånpækjin. Long time thereafter I’ve got an explanation: the subject is a homosexual, and my friends could count 3 other men, who walked in woman clothes too.
