Let me mention 2 more name from Swedish inscriptions, Tolir(long-o)
and Meyla. Tolir, the Toolish One (compare our tool-names for ON
man), and Meyla (Little Maiden, from PN *Maujilo, looking very Gothic
here). We add Meyla to Birla, end up with 2 feminines in -la, and
graciously thank the mideaval Swedish commoners for completing our
set: Sveinn, Sveinki, Maer, Meyla. Now, while eating our blotmatr
(long-o), Lokarr introduces us to his priest, Gydingr. He says the he
has heard from his folk that we have quite and interest for his
folk's personal names, and we answer, 'Yes'. Curious about Gydingr's
names, we ask him what it means. Gydingr tells us that many of his
folk are called after their forefathers and foremothers in a way that
names their names again. 'How so?', we ask. Gydingr tells us that his
own name is of this kind, and that it means aftercomer of a man Godi,
Priest. An olden forfather of his was his folk's first priest. He
tells us that his folk are called: Folkungr, Hundingr, Hvitingr(long-
i), Hriflingr, Hrefningr, Hniflungr, Haeringr, Haddingr, Hyrningr,
Hymlingr, Hysingr(long-y), Isungr(longi), Erlingr, Svertlingr,
Saemingr, Tyrfingr, Brettingr, Birningr, Mysingr(long-y), Lytingr
(long-y), and other such names. All but Hyrningr, the Horned One or
Descendant of *Horni, are names that we have already learned. We
thank Gydingr for explaining these things to us, and ask about the
purpose of this strange meeting of his folk. Gydingr tells us that
after our meal, we are welcome to join his folk in the spoon outside,
where he has already reddened the stones (compare again names from
words for stone) and welcome his folk's ancestors to the meeting
(lod, hooked-o, dh). There his folk will drink ale for their
ancestors, and pour it out to them in their honour, and give them
gifts and thanks. After the meal, we join Gydingr, Lokarr, Dali and
their folk at the spoon. Afterwards, we are tired, and retire to our
tents for the night, thinking Lokarr for bringing us to his folk's
meeting. -Konrad
