Horrible pronunciation. Listen on Forvo: krabba and spindel (you'll have to mentally add the -n's at the end yourself).

    Why isn't it 'spindelen'?

    Nouns ending in -el or -er drop the e of the definite ending -en so the result is spindeln, dottern (the daughter), mandeln (the almond). Also for plural these words are a bit odd because they drop the e in -el or -er so it becomes spindlar, döttrar, mandlar and so on.

      Wrong pronunciation by the DL voice: the second 'a' in 'krabban' and the 'e' in 'spindeln' should be short.

        Sounds like a promising spin-off series
