History
From an early 19th-century estate inventory: "2 plogar med drätter - 2 plogar utan drätter - 1 kjälka med drätt." I've also found other estate inventories online, which refer to "harvar med drätter," "ok med tilhörige drätter," etc. At first, I thought it was a reference to the blade(s) on a plow or harrow, but that doesn't explain the word's use in relation to a kälka or ok. Any suggestions?

On the other hand, see picture 11 in the document at http://craftlab.gu.se/digitalAssets/1333/1333902_slutrapport... where "drätt" seems to refer to a cut made in a tree trunk to enable it to be hauled by a horse. That's modern Swedish, though.
