From Det Sjunde Inseglet.

The actor Jonas Skat has run off with the Blacksmith's wife in a sexual affair. The character Raval confronts the character Jof -

>Du är också skådespelare, och det är väl din

>kumpan som har snoppat iväg med Plogs käring.

Clearly Raval is saying your friend has 'run off' with Plog's wife, but I am curious about the usage of the word snoppat here. Of it's meaning/nuances.

Snoppa means to snip off the burnt part of the wick of (a candle or lamp), or more genearlly to cut off the tip of something. But I realize that snopp can also figurative mean penis/willy.

And I am wondering if the sentence spoken by Raval is playing on the penis/willy connotation? Giving the phrase is highly sexual connotation...

I tend to think this is most likely the intention, but I am not sure it would fit given the time period the film is set in... (perhaps snopp didn't carry that meaning in that era).

More from Det Sjunde Inseglet...

The villian is stealing from the dead, and the girl walks in on him in the act.

He acts threateningly towards her, saying,

Varför ser du så förvånad ut?

Jag stjäl från de döda.

Numera är det ett ganska lönande gebit.

Du tänker springa ner till byn

och skvallra. Det tjänar ingenting till.

Var och en räddar sitt eget skinn.

Så enkelt är det med den saken.

(He leans over her, the vibe is that he will rape her.)

Försök inte skrika. Det är ändå ingen

som hör, varken Gud eller människor.

Är det inte värt att förvåna sig över?

Hoping someone can explain the bolded lines meaning (and the grammar..).

A short song sung by väpnaren Jöns in Det Sjunde Inseglet.

------------------------

Ack ödet är en rackare

Oh fate is a scoundrel,

du själv min vän en stackare.

and you my friend a poor soul

Än du spritter rask

Än??? you tremble/quiver/jump/twitch fast/quickly

än du krälar i en mask...

än??? you crawl i??? a worm...

--------------------------------------

I understand that the song is basically saying one minute you are alive and vibrant and the next you are dead, but I am confused about the use (and meaning) of än in both lines, and also confused about the line krälar i en mask.

What does än mean here (and does it have different meanings in both lines?)

krälar i en mask sounds like crawl IN a worm but i doubt that is the meaning.

Hoping someone can explain the meaning and grammer in the last two lines here.

The Black Death plagues the land and the character says -

>
De säger att det går nån

>elak sjukdom i landet

>och nu spekulerar

>prästerna i ond bråd död

>och moraliska magknip

Hoping that someone can give me a super LITERAL translation of the bolded section.

I understand that ond bråd död is sudden death (with a sinister/evil aspect) but I am not so confident in my understanding of moralisla magknip. Also a bit unsure of the use of spekulerar, as in are they speculating or perhaps preaching....

Would like to hear peoples take on this.

Watching Det Sjunde Inseglet.

The squire approaches a man to ask for directions, but discovers that the man is dead. When he returns to the knight the knight asks what the man said, to which the squire responds 'ingenting just' (he doesn't mention that the man was dead).

Clearly the squire is saying 'nothing', but i am curious about the use of just in the statement. Hoping some can explain it's usage here, if it adds any nuance etc...

I understand that it is basically an archaic word for a staircase, but I am hoping that someone can give a more exact description (eg is it a particular TYPE of staircase?), and perhaps also explain the meaning of lön in this particular context.
