Not really important, as the idea is cool, but regardless; as a Nordic, i can’t think of a single word we use for computer that would translate to number witch 🤔
It’s the icelandic word Tölva!
A mix of Tölur (numbers) and Völva (Seeress).
I guess the rest of you nords dont know how to make up cool new words like us!

You mean the Internet lied to me? I’m shocked I tell you, shocked! 🤣
