Also Norwegian for church is "Kirke", same with "bairn", "braw" for example.

"Efter" to mean after is the same in Swedish and Danish, "etter" in Norwegian.

"Flit" , as in to move house is "flytte" in Norwegian."Hoose" is "hus" Norwegian, Swedish & Danish".

There are many others, there is an awful lot of Scots with links back to Scandinavia.
