Hi,
The word SIGALDRY came up on CALL MY BLUFF recently.
It's also mentioned on this site:
http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/tolkien/91315
It's just that it seems to have an Icelandic ring about it - GALDUR, GALDURS = witchcraft, and I'm sure they said that SIGALDRY had a similar meaning.
Also, doesn't the prefix SÍ mean ETERNAL?
Can anyone shed any light on this ancient word from a 12th century English document, please?
Cheers,
Simon
