Langeleik
An old Norwegian stringed musical instrument, resembling the zither according to the OED.
‘Zither’ is interesting itself; it derives from Ancient Greek ‘Kithera’, the origin also of ‘guitar’ and the older ‘cittern’, and possibly also related to ‘sitar’. The latter is from Persian but may be from a common root.
