Beans vs Farmers Part II

Today Melissa learned that in addition to bønner (beans) and bønder (farmers - pronounced almost identically to beans), the Norwegian word for "prayers" is bønner. Yes, that's right. The exact same spelling as beans. Pronounced exactly the same.

Also, I just realized that in my previous post, I used the Swedish ö instead of the Norwegian ø. Please forgive me.
