Talk:Frigg and Freyja common origin hypothesis

message: Text removed:
Possibly another name for the Saxon goddess Freya, but I'm not in a position to confirm this. Frige, Freya and Freo are all given as the origin of the word Friday in this encyclopedia, so be careful what you trust!
:Yeah - sorry I put that in the article, but I was correcting some broken links and I thought it would highlight a bit of confusion/contradiction I found in some related articles :)  HappyDog 04:46, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)

message: Just a fly-by to ask about clarifying the difference intended between "real love" and "erotic love" in the article.  I won't be participating in any debate, but just thought it worth while bringing the topic up.  As an old married woman, it seems very unclear to me!
Thanks

thread_title: Love

message: A very difficult case, because of the etymological uncertainties regarding Verschärfung. At present it appears to me that there was a single goddess, Frijjo, who came to be conflated with a female hyopstasis of Freyr to become a Freyja separate from Frigg in Norse mythology specifically. These are ultimately epithets, one is "Lady", in principle applicable to any goddess, and one is "Love" (as it were personified). The problem is that the two words share the same etymology in Germanic. --dab (𒁳) 12:57, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: ok, I think I've figured it out, by building up this article and the Fraujaz article alongside it. Some things still need clarification or cross-checking, but I think it is basically right now. --dab (𒁳) 13:57, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Trying to fix this

message: Hi just want to bring this  up.  Most the original linguistics discussion in this article used AS or Anglo-Saxon, as I remember.  Just want to ask which is most commonly used in linguistics.  I guess English is closer to the self-description and "Anglo-Saxon" comes from other languages.  We can't very well use ænglisc in the article, maybe English is better than Anglo-Saxon though.  Whatever is used I think all the related articles should be made to agree in case anyone is confused about them referring to the same language. Fixentries (talk) 00:12, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Old English or Anglo-Saxon?

message: Any connection with the Albanian goddess of love, Prende? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prende
Note that she was associated with Friday, although this may have simply been how she was identified at the time, and may not reflect a deep connection.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.101.133.202 (talk) 12:23, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
