Nope. Never heard of the word, it doesn't exist on any Swedish site, not even with an alternate spelling. I suspect the it's same for the Dutch that shows up in the same type of rumours.

That doesn't mean that he lacks an international reputation though. I certainly recognize his name, even though born after his heydays.

RIP Walter
