apropos Zoega Day:

if this is right, it should be about a month from now - namely 28th of march.
(taken from:http://members.tripod.com/genealogy14/GeirHallgrimsson.html : 23rd of Feb. 2005)

Geir Tómasson Zoega, f. 28. mars 1857 á Bræðraparti á Akranesi., d. 15. apríl 1928 í Reykjavík., Rektor Menntaskólans í Reykjavík.

kind regards

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.
