Hmm... I started a separate page for "kutt". This inconsistency must be resolved, somehow. --[[User:Efatland|Efatland]] 19:37, 23 April 2012 (CEST)

Sorry. I beg to differ here. I need to disagree with Johannes Axner. A safeword is better to keep in another language. Also Cut is used in filmdirecting and theatre to stop a scene cause it is boring. I use words in that meaning when directing/GMing Freeforms like Anna Westerlings Growing Up (some scenes needs to be cut at times to avoid the tension just dwindling away ;- hah)). I guess we first need to collect all the different uses (and maybe also make a note on veils and lines from the freeformers of US to relate it to something well known to others ?)
I vote for "kutt" as the main page - although I am well aware that I have only 1 vote, like anybody else.

And Johannes, I don't agree that it's better to call it "cut", "kutt" is not a Norwegian word mixed in in a weird way, it's terminology. --[[User:ElinN|ElinN]] 18:48, 26 April 2012 (CEST)

Erlend: I'm not saying you are wrong. But it hadn't struck me that it could be in any other way. Why anyone would use "break" for a slow-dow-safeword puzzles me, it's just confusing. --[[User:ElinN|ElinN]] 18:56, 26 April 2012 (CEST)

AFAIK "Brems" has been used with just that spelling/pronounciation at a number of Swedish larps even though the Swedish translation would be something else (bromsa?), and "Kutt" has been used at a number of Finnish larps even though the Finnish translation would be completely different. The point in retaining the Norwegian pronounciation has been to mark them clearly as safe-words.
So my proposal is: make an article called "Brems" to describe that word. Rename the "Cut & Break" article to "Safe-words" and list Kutt, Brems and any other safe-word there with links to the more detailed article about the word itself. --[[User:Efatland|Efatland]] 19:52, 26 April 2012 (CEST)

Yes, Eirik, yes!
