Specialty Definition: Amma

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

On a journey, the god Rig came across a nice house owned by a craftsman and a farmer, Afi and Amma ("grand-mother"). The food was mediocre and they once again let him sleep between them. Nine months later, a son, Karl, was born. He married Snör and they had twelve sons and ten daughters, becoming the ancestors of the peasants of Norse society.
