Norwegian term (edited):
b�rtue
bunch of berries
I'm not too sure about the "tue" part, but here it might mean "bunch" as in "bunch of berries". So in times when food was scarce, there could be fighting over bunches of berries, which may have been considered a luxury or something.
This is largely a guess, though.
