FLARKE! FLARKE!

Flark: A Swedish term referring to limited, usually elongated, wet areas of exposed peat having an algal film and sometimes a sparse cover of sedges. The flark may be several hundred meters in length. On sloping sites flarks are narrow, being only a few meters wide but on horizontal peatland they may be a hundred or more meters wide. The flark axis is always perpendicular to direction of the contours. Synonym of mare (French-Canadian), rimpi (Finnish), and kulju.
(from the Arctic Geobotanical Atlas)

Alt: something that IKEA claim to have, but don't.



Fingers crossed for stealth shelf-purchase tomorrow ...

Hmmm - the reason for the text is that the bookcases which K had, which she thinks she bought as Kilby, had labels which said Flarke ... but they all fitted into her new room, anyway ...
