- 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 V
- He also gives val-mær = valkyrie and valr - the slain
valrauf -plundering the slain
- there 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
Day

- Who has by now formed the opinion that more of our words in
English relate to Old Norse that one could suspect.
