I almost thought the bit about the geese being named after Finnish numbers was vandalism, but I had to be sure about it, so I downloaded a free e-book copy of the book and checked it. Sure enough, they are named after the numbers, although Lagerlöf misspelled two names: Iksi should be Yksi and Kolmi should be Kolme. I feel ashamed to say this, but as large a part of the Nordic cultural heritage this book is, and how greatly I enjoyed the comic and TV adaptation of it in my childhood, I have never read the original book in its entirety.
