Husene var for det meste omgitt av en liten have – og havene igjen omgitt av gjerder.

The houses were mostly surrounded by a small garden – and the gardens were in turn surrounded by fences.

Older spelling 'have' for modern 'hage'. See also, unit 37.

Here again it would appear that "have" really should be "hage". Does anyone know of other instances in Norwegian literature where "have" was written instead of "hage"? Or do you know of this being the case in everyday speech? The translation only makes sense if you think of it as "hage" - garden or yard. "Garden" is British and "yard" is American English, usually "front yard" or "back yard". I only know of "hav" used in Norwegian for "sea" or "ocean" and I don't find "have" in any Norwegian dictionary. This looks like another problem with the software used to convert .epub to .pdf. I'll look into that further.
