Interesting puffer name

The common name of Takifugu oblongus must have been given by a Norwegian or Danish person. The PufferPedia gives me the common name Lattice Blaasop. Blaasop means "blow up" in Norwegian (the right way to write it in Norwegian is blåsopp, though. But in old times they wrote aa instead of the letter å)! :lol:
