	Orkneyjar - The kedhontla - a lost ogress
		It would not be hard to imagine mothers of yesteryear warning their children to stay away from the hills, for fear of being taken by the ogress.
		All we know is that it was probably regarded as some form of ogress.
		From her name, an apparent corruption of the Old Norse "kett-hyndla", meaning "cat-bitch", we could suggest she was perhaps a strange hybrid of dog and cat.

		The ogress having leaped over this second ditch turned again to pursue the poor lovers, who, hearing the clatter of her heels, and seeing clouds of dust that rose up to the sky, knew that she was coming again.
