Skund was really enchanted, although such forests on Disk are quite common. But it was the only forest in the universe that was called - in the local language - "Your Finger, Bolvan", which is a literal translation of the word "Skynd". The reason for this name is, unfortunately, too banal. When the first explorers from the warm lands near the Round Sea hit the cold deep lands, they filled the white spots on their maps as follows. They caught the nearest aboriginal, pointed to some point of reference, asked questions, loudly, clearly pronouncing words, and recorded everything that the elderly aboriginal spoke. Therefore, in generations of atlases such geographical discoveries have been perpetuated as "Simply Mountain", "I have no concepts", "What?" and, of course, "Your Finger, Bolvan." by Terry Pratchett. The crazy star.

Everywhere they run like this.
The banal “Kenguru” in the language of one of the Aboriginal tribes means “I don’t understand you.” Exactly on this principle.
