Swedes would make no difference between tåg in vikingatåg (“viking raid”), korståg (“crusade”), fälttåg, krigståg, and plundringståg (“pillage raid”), but in Danish they use different words, indicating different etymologies:

• Based on tog (“train, campaign”): korstog, felttog
• Based on togt (“raid, journey”): vikingetogt, krigstogt, plyndringstogt (“pillage raid”)
