Frö = strong desire
av = to have
svartkummin = evil desire ("svart"=evil and "kummin"=desire)

all over the world. Well, thats just my theory. :-)

Can't believe I actually wrote that. "svarkummin" means strong
desire, or even evil desire, not "Frö". "Frö" is just the swedish word
for
"to", and "av" is the swedish word for "have". Better get
some sleep.

I'm sorry, but how do you interpret it into this? :)
Frö = seed
av = of
svartkummin = a seed of Nigella Sativa Lin., used as a medical herb in
the old days..
At least according to my book. ;) Ah, nevermind.

This is dead wrong or nothing in common use in today swedish.
The link above says that git is an archaic word for "svartkummin"
which is the plant "Nigella sativa" (Lin.).
