I know. The 'h' was a typo -- and I spotted it with considerable chagrin
just after posting. (I was far too tired.)

The hyphen is there as a compromise because names of things in Unix
ought not to have embedded space characters (and I don't know whether
embedded space characters in hostnames are valid, and don't wish to find
out).

(Dad was from Kristiansund, and his mother was from Oslo.)
