Zurai said:Some more from Old Norse (I once found a .pdf Old Norse-English dictionary; it's pure gold for finding fun names for things that actually mean something in a barbaric-sounding language):
Rodull: sun
Dagr: day, daylight
Ljos: light
Kveykva: light (verb)
Dagan: daybreak
Fell: mountain
Fjoll: mountain
Fjollottr: mountainous
Stjarna: star
Ofridr: war
Drengr: warrior
Rekkr: warrior
Skod: weapon
Vapn: weapon
Hope some of those help
Sepulchrave is the man!Hjorimir said:My suggestion: The faith starts to call him Luminar, which means the Son of Dawn. Has a kind of 'Breath of God' feel to it (I love Sep's storyhour too).
After thinking about it, I thought I might modify them a bit for Apollo...Nightfall said:Diamond,
It's no worse than mine.
You're welcome...Nightfall said:Rob,
Thanks! Next time I need a Norse sounding word (for what ever reason) I'll keep this link in mind.
Wavestone said:I dont know any old norse, but I'm swedish, which is a language descended from it..
Most of these sound somewhat familiar, similar to the words used now. But a couple makes me question that dictionary somewhat (caveat: I'm coming from modern swedish).
Skod sounds a lot like Skjold/Skild, which means Shield, not weapon.
Kveykva..? Sounds more like an adjective to me.. more like Kvicka , which means quick. But as said.. old Norse. WOuld be better if someone from Iceland would speak up, as Icelandic is much more close to old norse.
