Hi Dúnja

Many thanks!

Where does your name come from, and what does it mean, please?

Cheers,

Simon

Hi Simon.


Baggalútur is a rock formation that comes in to existance in ryolit-lava -
I won't go into details how, but you can see the thing here.:

We are talking about small reddish balls, either just a single one or a few clastered
together.

I have NO idea why they picked that name for the site but you get used
to it fast enough.

And since this is a language mailing-list I feel that I must add something
grammatical to my first post ;) :

The plural is 'baggalútar' but lútur in the sense you mentioned doesn't
have a plural, for obvious reasons.

Regards,

Dúnja
