Pancreas

I was talking to one of my Norwegian cousins the other day. Her English, like that of all my Norwegian relatives, is shamingly good, but we discovered that she didn’t know the word “pancreas”. I reached for my English-Norwegian dictionary, but the word isn’t there—it jumps straight from “pancake” to “panda”.

Should any Norwegian dictionary compilers find themselves reading this, I have a heartfelt question: of those three words, which is the one statistically most likely to prove necessary in an emergency?
