In my Zoega, it gives the Old Norse name as Val -kyrja and the Definition of Chooser of the Slain / valkyrie, well thats where it all started, Odin's Daughters were they not, I found it logical to look in Zoega under VHe also gives val-mær = valkyrie and valr - the slain valrauf -plundering the slainthere are several words beginning Val- and so many seem to be to do with the Slain in Battle or else val- words are to do with Battle.Thank the Gods for Geir T. Zoëga we should have a Zoëga DayPatriciaWho has by now formed the opinion that more of our words in English relate to Old Norse that one could suspect.----- Original Message -----From: joannacmacleodSent: Wednesday, February 23, 2005 1:14 PMSubject: [norse_course] Axe time
Was a valkyrie - what is the old Norse name for this?
