Why isn't that first external link working properly? I can't figure out what went wrong. --TD Mak 06:19, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Opening sentence of the book
The article states that the opening sentence of the book is In the beginning there were the marsh, the hoe - and Jussi, which is what it is in Richard Impola's translation. My wife insists that this is an incorrect translation and that the tool Jussi is using is a pickaxe. This makes more sense to me as no one would use a hoe to clear a swamp, surely. Can anyone shed some light on this? Alun 23:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- It is a hoe. Pickaxe is hakku. --Vuo 09:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
