Norse word of the month - June

ELDING

Elding means litening (sic) in both Norsk & Icelandic. The root is "eld" (Nynorsk "ild"), meaning fire, a specifically Skandi word.

What made me think of this is learning by accident that FC Lyn have just gone bankrupt from the Norse 2d Division (Addeccoliga ou quelq'chose), the Norse sesong being still in progress. And LYN also means lytning/Blitz/éclair.

Leeds Utd will be defeating SK Brann later this very month.

Libellés : ,


Comments:
Quite right. And "Brann", of course, means "fire". Well, they souldn't be allowed to play any matches abroad, they're only humiliating themselves ...
 
Play matches or play with matches?
