>>>I wonder what kind of Danish Nabokov spoke. As a native Dane I am
mystified. There is no Danish word HIDE, meaning "a haven". 
HID means hither. Or would it be better to choose English HIDE (as:
skin), which is HUD in Danish?
JOKULL (not Jokulle) is not Danish, but Icelandic, and does not mean
"icicle" but "glacier".<<<

He goes on to say, "Not knowing these simple derivations...."

More like "simple deceptions."
