WHAT DOES PULKA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pulk

A pulk is a Nordic short, low-slung small toboggan used in sport or for transport, pulled by a dog or a skier, or in Lapland pulled by reindeer. The sled can be used to carry supplies such as a tent or food, or transport a child or other person. In Norway, pulks are often used by families with small children on skiing trips. In Sweden, pulks are often used, mostly by children, as a winter toy for going downhill. Pulks are nowadays made of plastic, which makes them cheap to buy. A larger pulk, designed for transporting larger amounts of goods, is called ahkio in Finnish. This word is also used by the US Army for a human-drawn snow sled.
