Note 16 — THE HALLING.
Mary (Mary Botham) Howitt translation
The langoleik, or langleg, is a four-stringed instrument, probably of the same form as the psaltry. The peasant girls in mountain-districts play gladly upon it, and often with great dexterity. In the so-called "Elskov's Song," from Vestfjordal it is said—
Ho som so gjilt kan po Langoleik spelo, Svanaug den vena, ska no væra mi!
