A perhaps curious sign of this ambition is that the pages are provided with double page numbers, so that one can also see which page of the original is being reproduced.

Compound of glo (“stare”) + so (“sow”). According to SAOB attested since 1863.

Den tredje gången möter man »gloson», och elden står om munnen på henne. Gloson rusar mellan benen på vandraren, men han får inte vara rädd.

1917, Elias Grip, “Trolldom och häxeri [Witchcraft and sorcery]”, in Några bidrag till kännedom om svenskt allmogeliv [Some contributions to the knowledge of Swedish peasant life], page 138:

The third time one encounters "the gloso", and fire blazes about her mouth. The gloso rushes between the traveller’s legs, but he must not be afraid.

Föreställningen om den hedniske Gloson såsom ett vitt svin har enl. Hylten-Cavallius sannolikt givet upphov till den i Västmanland gängse tron, att det är olyckligt att ha vita svin, utan höra de, som påläggas vara svarta eller fläckiga (W. & W. 1: Tillägg s. 59). Jfr, not 45.

1925, Paul Heurgren, “Förklaring av i föregående kapitel angivna noter [Explanation of notes mentioned in the previous chapter]”, in Husdjuren i nordisk folktro [Domestic animals in nordic folklore], page 407:

The notion of the heathen Gloso as a white boar has, according to Hylten-Cavallius, likely given rise to the belief prevalent in Västmanland that it is ill-fated to keep white swine but that they ought to be black or spotted (W. & W. 1: Appendix, p. 59). Cf. note 45.

Hos alla europeiska folk har nämligen särskilt jultiden med sina långa och mörka nätter ansetts som en spöktid, då dödingar och alla slags andeväsen äro ute och färdas såsom bland andra Jerusalems skomakare och gloson för att inte tala om Odens vilda akt (se sid. 580).

1937, Louise Hagberg, “Alla själars dag [All souls' day]”, in När döden gästar. [When death visits], page 653:

Among all European peoples, Christmastide, with its long and dark nights, has particularly been regarded as a time of hauntings when the dead and all manner of spirits roam abroad, such as, among others, the Wandering Jew and the gloso, not to mention Odin’s Wild Hunt (see p. 580).

(folklore, Southern) An (often) white pig or boar with red sparking glowing eyes, large snout and fiery tusks, occasionally with a sharp serrated back and a tendency to run twixt the legs and cleave their victim.

If the house gnome doesn’t get a dab of butter in his Christmas porridge, he might get angry and do great harm.

Månen vandrar sin tysta ban' [bana – not a common shortening otherwise], snön lyser vit på fur och gran. Snön lyser vit på taken. Endast tomten är vaken.

The moon wanders its silent course, the snow shines white on pine and spruce. The snow shines white on the roofs. Only the tomte is awake. [from the poem Tomten by Viktor Rydberg]

(folklore) A small human-like creature in Nordic folklore that lives on farmsteads and watches over their inhabitants; a brownie, a gnome.

compound

Egendomsherren på Engagården hette fordomdags Truls, och hans maka Signe. De hade sex barn, tre af hvart kön. Sönerne blefvo i ungdomen spådde, att de skulle misshandla sina systrar. För att hindra detta, förde fadren dem långt upp åt landet. Sedan de blifvit vuxna, komma de till hemorten, utan att veta att de der voro födde. Händelsevis mötte de i skogen trenne flickor som skulle gå till ottesången i Norrhveddinge kyrka, och visste ej att de voro deras systrar. De våldtogo flickorna och slogo dem ihjel. På stället der detta hände, uppsprungo Jungfrukällorna.

Long time ago, the owner of Engagården was Truls and his wife was Signe. They had six children, three of each sex. When the sons were young it was forecast that they would violate their sisters. In order to prevent this, the father sent them far away to another part of the country. When they had grown up, they came to their homestead, without knowing that they were born there. They met in the forest three girls who were on their way to Christmas Eve's morning service at the church of Norrhveddinge, and did not know that they were their sisters. They raped the girls and killed them. On the site where this happened sprang up the Virgin Springs.

Vad som är korrekt svenska väcker stort engagemang, inte minst bland språkpoliser som gärna påpekar fel på sociala medier.
– De verkar finnas i alla åldersgrupper och särskrivningar är det de ogillar allra mest, säger Anna Heuman vid Örebro universitet.

2022 June 8, “Stavfel och särskrivningar får språkpoliser att se rött [Spelling errors and incorrectly writing as separate words make grammar police see red]”, in Forskning.se:

What is correct Swedish arouses great commitment, not least among grammar police who like to point out mistakes on social media.
– They seem to be found in all age groups and incorrectly writing as separate words is what they dislike the most, says Anna Heuman at Örebro University.

Vid tryckningen har den skillnaden gjorts att särskrivning har brukats i klassiska citat och hopskrivning i nylatinska texter.

1941, Jacob Wallenberg, edited by Nils Afzelius, Samlade skrifter II, page 548:

When printing, the distinction has been made that writing as separate words has been used in classical quotations and compound words in neo-Latin texts.

Angående avstavningen få vi påpeka, att något förslag angående denna sak icke av oss gjorts, och vi anse, att denna fråga liksom frågorna om språkriktighet, särskrivning och annat dylikt icke böra sammanblandas med frågan om ljudbeteckningen.

1886 January 26, J. A. Lyttkens, F. A. Wulff, “I rättstafningsfrågan. [Regarding the issue of orthography.]”, in Svenska Dagbladet (letter to the editor), page 3:

Regarding the hyphenation, we may point out that we have not made any proposal regarding this matter, and we believe that this question, like the questions about correctness of language, writing as separate words and such, should not be mixed up with the question of the sound designation.
