I have tried the Norwegian stemmer together with our search engine at www.ssb.no and I ran into some problems.
It is my opinion that the letter "k" should be removed from the define_s_ending.
There are many Norwegian words that end in "ks", and where the "s" is not genitive. I.e. the Norwegian word for salmon - laks. If you remove the s here the word "lak" has no meaning. Other examples from the Norwegian test vocabulary of Snowball are: boks, heks, juks
To me it seems like there is a tendency over time in Norwegian not to use the genitive "s" and use separate words instead, like in English to use the word "of" instead of 's.
I also enclose an updated version of the Norwegian list of stopwords. The list included some Swedish and Danish words, like "inte". Maybe the list was made by a person who do not have Norwegian as their native language. I also removed some duplicates. I also added the words: bare, enn, fordi, før, mange, også, slik, vært.
