Rosica Dimitrova (asker) Feb 28, 2006:
I don't know, it's just a map legend, only words... no context.
Clare Barnes Feb 28, 2006:
Is this a back translation? It's very odd choice of word, though I agree with Lamiro that it's most likely spring. Språng is usually used to describe a body's physical movement.

To Mårten: I actually checked this word in the third edition of Modern Svensk-Engelsk Ordbok, published in 1982 by Bokfforlaget Prisma Stockholm (page 419) but felt oblidged to include some web references...and did not check them properly...Sorry...
Peer comment(s):

agree Clare Barnes : Probably right, though the Swedish word is most likely "källa", occasionally "källsprång".

neutral Mårten Sandberg : Don´t put trust in that Web-reference; I imported the gloss to my TM and I am paying the price everyday, by having to cleanse the rubbish out. Worthless!
