With krøl 1 and 2 can also be compared Sw. dial. krylas, vb. refl., to double oneself up. With krøl 3 (a shaped piece of dough) can mainly be compared No. krull, m., inter alia curly shaving, and krulla, f., a cluster. With such a development of meaning of the Shetlandic word might then be compared the changes of meaning in dungel, and esp. kongel, sbs., used synonymously with krøl 3.
