If I understand correctly, this article seems to say that tannfé used to mean 'tooth fairy' ('i seinare tid er tannfe vorte ei nemning på ei fe (alv)'). But it means 'tooth money'; see for example Cleasby, Richard and Gudbrand Vigfusson, An Icelandic-English Dictionary, 2nd edn by William A. Craigie (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1957), under tannfé; the relevant page of the first edition of this dictionary is up at http://lexicon.ff.cuni.cz/html/oi_cleasbyvigfusson/b0625.html. I would correct the article, but I don't write Norwegian. Alarichall 26. november 2010 kl. 14:27 (CET)[svar]

I think the article is correct as it stands. In modern Norwegian, tannfe (without the accent) has come to mean tooth fairy. The old meaning is given as tooth gift.
Anyway, the reference is quite useful for this unreferenced article, I've added it. Thanks! --Ranveig 26. november 2010 kl. 14:43 (CET)[svar]
