The notes at the back of this collection of short stories makes mention of that one alright! I lived with a Scottish fella from Forres in Prague, and he was fond of calling everyone a "fud"! The Norwegian modern word "fitte" retains the strength of its modern English variant.
Have you been to the Nordic Bible & book museum in Oslo? (I haven’t!)
I haven't mainly because its some kind of weird privately run "museum", so I'm a little skeptical of their purposes!
Understandable. If you ever do go I’d like to hear/read about it!
I love the Bryggen inscriptions. This one stuck in my head https://skaldic.org/db.php?id=15084&if=runic&table=mss -- we still say "fud" for "fuð" in Glasgow!
