And of course, it's no way easier if you've only read the Bible in Swedish,
and only know the Swedish names of the books. I started with some wild
guesses, but I ran out of steam after some time.

Then again, I will have to admit that Revelation is singular in Swedish too
"Johannes' uppbarelse", so I cannot use this excuse for that error. On the
other hand Acts is "Apostlagärningarna" in Swedish (which translates exactly
to "Acts of the Apostles"), but I had no clue about the English name.

I would say Lentils is too specific and inaccurate; there are many
dahls that do not use lentils but are made with other pulses such as
chickpeas etc.

It's equally true that many pulses are not used in dahl, but on reflection
I'm inclined to give you the point (and the win). Congratulations.

Thank you Calvin. First time I've got 'em all. As a matter of interest
the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary gives Dal or Dhal as:-

Split pulses (esp. the seed of the pigeon pea, Cajanus cajan ), a
common foodstuff in the Indian subcontinent.
