     @clacke Ah, so it's still using the Latin.

     @grumpysmiffy In modern Swedish you can use "osv" for "och så vidare", "[and so on]", instead of the latin abbreviation, but that use is probably as young as the "du" reform, so like after 1960.

     @grumpysmiffy Here's an extensive list of Swedish abbreviations:
     
     sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_ö…
     
     Don't view it as a list of recommended abbreviations to use; It's intended for the other direction, if you see an abbreviation you don't know.
     
     There are several I haven't seen before and several I know but wouldn't use. And that's just the common use section.
