Gondol

water-spirit · Norway · Nordic

Not independently attested in folklore literature. No Setesdal source, including Johannes Skar's Gamalt or Sætesdal, records a lake spirit named 'gondol', and the name is best known as a Norwegian cable-car brand. Genuine Setesdal water-lore centers on the nøkk (näk); 'gondol' appears in no ethnographic record.
