hamna (OSw) havne (ODan) hampna (OSw) noun

An administrative district in the naval defence organization. Originally, a man and equipment were to be provided, but by the time that the Swedish laws were written down in the form that we know them today, these obligations were being transformed into yearly taxes. Whether Östergötland was divided into hamna (and har, q.v.) has been debated (Ericsson 2007, 113 and passim). Ericsson suggests that a hamna might have consisted of eight attungar (see attunger), but its very existence has also been questioned (Söderlind 1989, 16−17).
