The fact that Thor apparently has a sister is the stuff that generates whole novels

So, one of Thor’s names is literally HOG RIDER!?

I have an idea for a future video, Doc: one about the figure Gaut, namesake of the Goths and the Geats, who may or may not have been an early form of Odin

Burr reminds me of the german word Bube, meaning the same thing as boy, in other words a small male child. In my own Austrian dialect, we call it a bua, which sounds almost identical to Burr as pronounced by Dr. Crawford

Researched "Ko-Fi" pronunciation for you. According to their own KZfaq channel, the name "Ko-Fi" rhymes with "Low Fee" although they stress the first syllable.

Thanks for the information as always Dr. Crawford. I wanted to ask if you could do a video similar to this for Loki, specifically in reference to his name Sataere since, at least according to some stuff I've read, that is where the modern name for Saturday comes from as opposed to the commonly held belief of it being related to Saturn.

@DaneJarl Ай бұрын

He has multiple videos on Loki. A few touch on Loki's name, but I don't think he ever discusses Sataere. I think you're being mislead by whatever you've been reading about relationship Loki and Sataere, if ever anyone thought there was one, no one does now in current scholarship.

Any connection between Odins brother ve and the name veurr? Other than they're both referencing something holy?

What's a good source for translation of the names in the poems? Seems like a very important part of understanding the poems and yet I can often not find a translation. E.g. one of Loki's supposed names Hveðrungr. -> Which is also interesting because it is also listed as a name of Oðins as well as of a giant.

Hi, I left a comment on Two Words for 'Wolf' in Old Norse. KZfaq being the way that it is, I'm not sure that it would get to you, so I'm leaving a comment on your most recent as well. To summarize my question, what would be the plural of Ulf? I've seen Ulf, Ulves, Ulve, and Ulfs.

it's ulvar in modern norse/nordic languages

@bennyklabarpan7002 Ай бұрын

@@MrLongshotbob try a norwegian or swedish dictionary. but it's likely either ulvar or ulver, but the latin alphabet in itself is not good to represent nordic languages, too many sounds missing. The V -> F sound shift did not occur in large parts of scandinavia
