Others came from Ireland, Norway, France, Sweden and eastern Canada<\/em>.&#8221; I never did discover the source of the original name, Snorum. I think the Swedish settlers may have been responsible. Let me explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Snipp, Snapp, Snorum, Hej Basalorum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Snipp, Snapp, Snorum, Hej Basalorum&#8221; was a common Swedish children&#8217;s rhyme of the period, and may still be for all I know. I couldn&#8217;t find a literal Swedish translation for this nonsensical string of words. Apparently it wasn&#8217;t much more meaningful than all of the words flowed together particularly well. It wouldn&#8217;t be any sillier than something like &#8220;Nanny nanny boo-boo&#8221; uttered by American schoolchildren. Kids are like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chant derived from a Danish phrase, &#8220;Snip-snap snurre, basselurre.&#8221; used similarly. The Danish version even appeared in a Hans Christian Andersen story, &#8220;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/andersen.sdu.dk\/vaerk\/hersholt\/TheFlax_e.html\" target=\"_blank\">H\u00f8rren<\/a>&#8221; (the Flax). In it, the phrase appeared three times as the flax was harvested, turned to linen, used as an undergarment, cut to rags, turned into paper, and printed into a book. Each time it was reborn for a new purpose until it was finally burned at the very end of its long, productive lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I consulted a <a href=\"https:\/\/ordnet.dk\/ods\/ordbog?query=basselurre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Danish dictionary<\/a> and found a better explanation. Translation software provided an approximation of its original meaning. Life is a Snip, a Snap and a Snurre (to spin). Death is a Basselurre. The dictionary went on to explain that Basselurre was a meaningless word (et meningsl\u00f8st ord) that simply completed the children&#8217;s rhyme of life and death. That seemed to be a pretty grim topic for a child&#8217;s chant &#8212; confrontation with one&#8217;s own mortality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Snip, Snap, Snorum also became a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Snip-Snap-Snorum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">card game<\/a> at least as far back as the 18th Century and probably earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Villages of Snipp, Snapp, Snorum, Hej and Basalorum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=d&amp;source=s_d&amp;saddr=65.226667,20.329444&amp;daddr=65.225833,20.263333+to:65.284444,20.076944+to:65.344444,20.018611&amp;geocode=FatH4wMd5DM2AQ%3BFWlE4wMdpTE1AQ%3BFVwp5AMdkFkyAQ%3BFbwT5QMds3UxAQ&amp;aq=&amp;sll=65.243148,20.246766&amp;sspn=0.157286,0.617294&amp;hl=en&amp;mra=ls&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=65.243195,20.246429&amp;spn=0.144637,0.399341&amp;t=m&amp;output=embed\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><br><small><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-align: left;\" href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=d&amp;source=embed&amp;saddr=65.226667,20.329444&amp;daddr=65.225833,20.263333+to:65.284444,20.076944+to:65.344444,20.018611&amp;geocode=FatH4wMd5DM2AQ%3BFWlE4wMdpTE1AQ%3BFVwp5AMdkFkyAQ%3BFbwT5QMds3UxAQ&amp;aq=&amp;sll=65.243148,20.246766&amp;sspn=0.157286,0.617294&amp;hl=en&amp;mra=ls&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;ll=65.243195,20.246429&amp;spn=0.144637,0.399341&amp;t=m\">Snipp, Snapp, Snorum, Hej Basalorum<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for bearing with the tangent. I had to go through that elaborate explanation to tie the topic back to geography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I uncovered a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Swedish-language description<\/span> [<em>link no longer works<\/em>] of the towns of Snipp, Snapp, Snorum, Hej and Basalorum, which I shall paraphrase as best I can. An iron ore mining company wished to open new facilities near J\u00f6rn in northern Sweden, in 1836. Few people lived there at the time, however, and the company wouldn&#8217;t have enough miners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Hej14aug2010.JPG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/f\/f1\/Hej14aug2010.JPG\/512px-Hej14aug2010.JPG\" alt=\"&quot;Hej14aug2010&quot;: Enar Nordvik \/ CC BY-SA (https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0) via Wikimedia Commons\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Hej, Sweden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, Five villages were created, Snipp, Snapp, Snorum, Hej and Basalorum, each named for a different word in the children&#8217;s rhyme. Mining in the adjacent area petered-out quickly and the settlements never amounted to much, although the mere fact that someone named them like this was fantastic. Most of the settlements were never more than a cluster of homes or farms. Hej was probably the only one that became a true village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now to search for towns in North America named Nanny-Nanny and Boo-Boo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12MC Loves Footnotes!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><small><a name=\"footnote1\"><\/a>(\u00b9) When I was young and whenever we happened to be driving in Virginia&#8217;s exurbs outside of Washington, DC, and spotted the control tower at Dulles International Airport, my dad would always say: &#8220;That&#8217;s the world&#8217;s most boring airport.
