[Sca-cooks] Rumpolt: Was ist einen Spensaw???

Can you give me some etymological info? I've seen one translation, 
right or wrong, calling it a domestic sow, and the word "sow" seems 
pretty implicit. Does the "Spen" part imply youth, or a piggy-milk 
diet, or small? I mean, since there are other words I'm familiar with 
that mean those things...

Thanks!

Adamantius
