Thank you for making these videos. They have helped me out a lot in my journey to understand this wonderful culture. I recently found out that ancestry is strongly from this area of the world. So i decided to really dive into norse and celtic traditions.
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
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.
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.
Researched "Ko-Fi" pronunciation for you. According to their own TH-cam channel, the name "Ko-Fi" rhymes with "Low Fee" although they stress the first syllable.
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
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. TH-cam 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.
@@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
So, one of Thor’s names is literally HOG RIDER!?
Lives in a kleines Dorf on the border of Deutschland and The Netherlands.
That’s going to make a lot of Harley riders very happy.
Hog Rider on a chariot driven by goats? Absolutely.
The God of Harleys
May be so but it was heard to hear bc of the audio.
The fact that Thor apparently has a sister is the stuff that generates whole novels
Meili is a man
@lartts7483 OH! I rewatched this and Dr. Crawford never said anything about Meili being a sister. I'm not sure what gave me that impression 🤔 😅

It's crazy you don't have a million subs. Truly.

V. Pârvan lists all gothic tribes in Getica...(
Even if we complain about the audio? We truly don't deserve you
Be well Jackson!! Happy Easter! Thank you for your video.

@@DaneJarl hence why I asked, because if I'm to trust what anyone has something to say on the subject, it's here on Dr. Crawford's channel.
I'm obsessed with that deer enamel pin you're wearing about 5 minutes in
Technically, that is a pronghorn.

it's not just "coffee"?
@@kori228 Listen for yourself. Their channel isn't hard to find.
Thank you a lot for all the interesting and valuable information you share with us!

Thor Bless
The volume's fine in this one.
Are you trying reverse psychology?
Loved this video!

Any connection between Odins brother ve and the name veurr? Other than they're both referencing something holy?
I need your Book in spanish
What do you know about Viking board games?
Hi Dr. Crawford, probably false association but is burr (son) related to bairn in Scots? Also, is bani cognate or related to bane?
I cannot answer the second one, however I can pretty confidently say the first is highly unlikely.

it's ulvar in modern norse/nordic languages
@@bennyklabarpan7002 lol give four options and still none of them right. Is there something to back this up other than wiktionary?

If Thor was a pig rider, that makes him even more of a badass. Wild Boar are really something else.
Thanks - but I missed Einriði
Ǫku-Þórr!
🤠🤠🤠
I can hear Led Zeppelin singing "Valhalla, I am oinking". 🐷
These seem more like titles to me, rather than names.
