| Lesson: | Eventyr, Askeladden som fikk prinsessen til å løgste seg |
I think this is nynorsk and means "laugh" but hopefully someone from Norway will confirm. Now you made me curious too.
"give up" is the expression I can make out of the Norwegian text.
Oh, here it is in English:

Jeff - Thanks for the link. It made me research more.
The word actually means "lie". See this link that explains words that appear in Norwegian fairy tales:. http://no.wikisource.org/wiki/Norske_Folke-_og_.... løgste appears as meaning Løgste: drive til Løgner

Cobraen - in this context it means "to lie". See the link above, which gives the use of that word in stories:
Løgste, drive til Løgner.
It also makes sense in the context of the story.
