Adjective

kulen (not comparable)

  1. chilly and overcast; bleak, chilly
    • (Can we date this quote?), traditional (lyrics and music), “En kulen natt [One chilly night]”:
      En kulen natt, natt, natt, min båt jag styrde, på havets vågade, vågade, våg, så skummet yrde. Och vart [än] jag sågade, sågade, såg, på havets vågade, vågade, våg, långt ner i djupettipettipettipett [djupet], en fisk jag såg, och det var du!
      One chilly night, night, night, my boat I steered, on the sea's wave-a-di [also literally "wave-ed" or "daring" (plural or definite)], wave-a-di, wave, so that the foam sprayed [whirled, spun through the air]. And wherever I look-a-di [also literally "sawed," as with a saw], look-a-di, looked, on the sea's wave-a-di, wave-a-di, wave [Cryptic – intuitively either "And where I looked ..." or "And wherever I looked ..." (where the latter usually has än, but works intuitively without it), with the sentence ending here, but that makes little sense. "And there I saw ..." would make more sense as well.], far down in the depths-deppy-deppy-deppy-dep, a fish I saw, and it was you!
