Talk:Trident

message: I have removed the following sentence from the article:
:It is also believed that the word "TRIDENT", is derived from 'TRIDANT' which in Hindi (an Indian language) means ' having 3 teeth '.
Can someone verify this? -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 20:41, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I was always under the impression that the word "trident" was from Greek, not Latin.--Mr Fink 03:51, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Greek or Latin 

message: One statement in the article reads as follows:
"In The Legend of Zelda, a video game franchise, the villain Ganon uses a trident called the Trident of Power. This is seen in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past."
Slight misunderstanding.  Ganon never uses a Trident called the Trident of Power.  He uses The Triforce of Power, which is one of the three different Triforces.  Since a trident would have nothing to do with Ganon, I'm omitting this statement.  They do sound kind of similar, though.  Happy editing! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.199.25.62 (talk) 23:24, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is Trident said to be a French word meaning three teeth? The French for three is 'trois'. Who says the English word Trident comes from French and not direct from the Latin Tridentis? The Oxford Etymological Dictionary of English makes no mention of French mediation of this word in its passage to English.

message: I think it's resemblance to the pitchfork must also be mentioned within the body of the article itself since giggs are mentioned too.
I would also like to read something about why Satan is almost always depicted holding such a tool. some historical data would be most appreciated. I tried to google it but no luck.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.229.236.247 (talk) 17:43, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Left wondering what is meant where it reads:
"A fork Jewish priests (Kohanim) used to take their portions of offerings"
Could it be again written but clearer in meaning?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.1.69.20 (talk) 00:21, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
