Talk:Árvakr and Alsviðr

message: Simek writes Arvakr and Alsviðr, Lindow writes Árvak and Alsvin, and there are many other versions of the names. What do they base this on, and what should we go for? –Holt  T•C 14:25, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Simek appears to prefer a normalized ON spelling but without diacritics, while Lindow appears to use diacritics without the nominative case markers. Per WP naming conventions on ON names, Árvakr and Alsviðr should be the forms used, I reckon.--Berig (talk) 15:09, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright, thanks for the info, Berig – I am not too familiar with this yet. However, why is it "Alsvin" in Lindow's? In the Scandinavian languages we also call Alsviðr Allsvinn (or similar). I am just wondering what manuscript(s) that version is based on. –Holt  T•C 16:54, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think Lindow probably bases his svinn form on other case declensions but the nominative, such as the accusative, the dative or the genitive cases. He may also base it on the fact that the phoneme combination -ðr is often an alternative form for a more inter-case consistent -nr. Compare Gunnr and Guðr (a Valkyrie) and Unnr and Uðr (a daughter of Aegir). In plain English, Alsvinnr is a predictable and more consistent alternative form of Alsviðr, and minus the nominative case marker, you get Alsvin. As a case in point, if you remove the case marker from ON maðr I'd expect to get man and not ?mað.--Berig (talk) 17:51, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Berig is absolutely correct, one wouldn't be surprised to find an alternating Alsviðr/Alsvinnr for the nominative and then Alsvinn- for the oblique cases. As it happens it looks like this name is only preserved in the nominative and that it consistently has a fricative (for the Grímnismál stanza I checked Codex Regius and AM 748; for the Gylfaginning prose I checked R, W, and T - are those horses mentioned anywhere else?).

Talk:Battle of Pea Ridge order of battle: Confederate

message: As far as I can tell the two Arkansas Mounted Rifle Regiments were not dismounted at this date. Unfortunatelly I don't recall the source to back this up. I believe they were only dismounted when they were transferred further East (Corinth I believe, but maybe Vicksburg). So could anyone with a handy source confirm whether they were mounted or dismounted. According to the OR the two regiments also belonged to McIntosh's brigade (also logical as McIntosh was Colonel of the 2nd Arkansas MR), not Hébert's.--Caranorn 11:43, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay I finally found a source (and also bought Shea and Hess' book). According to William Tunnard (commander of the 3rd Louisiana of Hébert's Brigade) these units were dismounted at the beginning of the Pea Ridge Campaign... --Caranorn (talk) 19:38, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Arkansas Mounted Rifles

message: 1) I separated the Confederates into two wings as that's essentially how they operated.
2) I separated Pike's command from McCulloch's division as that brigade never belonged to the division.
3) I moved Pike into the same line with Greer concerning command of McCulloch's division as they "simultaneously" assumed command.
4) I removed the term dismounted from the two Arkansas Mounted Rifle Regiments, this is a mistake, there is no indication they were dismounted before Pea Ridge while material exists to demonstrate this happened after their transfer further east.
Note that the order of battle as given still contradicts information in the Official Records, particularly for McCulloch's wing. But going further would probably constitute original research. Though I will at least look into the command issue for Hébert's brigade, as I seem to recall Churchill assuming command, not McNair (who certainly commanded the brigade after it's transfer east).--Caranorn 13:27, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Glad (Norse mythology) →  – It is convention to use the Old Norse spelling (see Skaði, Njörðr and Svaðilfari) given that it is more useful for helping pronunciation and critically as it can and has been anglicised in a number of different ways ("Glad", "Gladr", "Glathr", "Glath"). It is further a useful move to remove the need for the "(Norse mythology)" disambiguator, currently needed as "Glad" holds other meanings. Due to the issues with anglicising, the form "Glaðr" is often used in scholarship. Ingwina (talk) 20:27, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Sæhrímnir

message: I've reinserted the explanation of Saehrimnir as related to sea foam/ice. I initially and very charitably inserted is as an alternative reference, despite the fact that it's obviously the correct one. Hrim is cognate with rime, the English word meaning ice. The connotation is sea foam, or sea ice, as numerous authors point out. I've linked to two of them. Reverting because you don't like the references seems very dodgy, particularly when the only reference linking the name with soot is inaccessible to others. The reference which "Bloodofox" deleted and claimed was a 'very poor reference' was from a work by John James Garth Wilkinson. Those ignorant of his work will find his Wikipedia page here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_John_Garth_Wilkinson
A quote:
"The vigour of his thought won admiration from Henry James, Sr. (father of the novelist) and from Ralph Waldo Emerson, through whom he met Thomas Carlyle and James Anthony Froude; and his speculation further attracted Alfred Tennyson, the Oliphants and Edward Maitland.
He wrote an able sketch of Swedenborg for the Penny Cyclopaedia, and a standard biography, Emanuel Swedenborg (1849); but these were not his only interests. He was a traveller, a linguist, well versed in Scandinavian literature and philology"
Frankly the alternative is a ridiculous etymology - "sea soot" doesn't make sense. "Sea ice" clearly does. For the importance of rime (hrim)  in Teutonic mythology see, eg, p 532 of Volume II of Grimm's Teutonic Mythology. You can see there also that Hrimnir means rime, not soot.

I will now expand the article and maybe the results will make more sense to you thereafter. :bloodofox: (talk) 08:49, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

text: I have now expanded the article by a fair amount. For an English breakdown of the etymology, see the Lindow reference. While the etymology you have provided is not the 'traditional' (?) etymology, having it there would help flesh out the article, yet I must stress that if it is re-added, it must be done so with proper context and not just presented as fact. In relation, note that the information from Grimm is presented as exactly what it is—information from Grimm—and not as fact. :bloodofox: (talk) 10:35, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Curtis Ebbesmeyer

message: I have just finished Curtis Ebbesmeyer Flotsametrics and was awed by the last chapter in which he reveals that the gyres have harmonics. The eleven world gyres have their own 'tone' created by their time cycles, the speed of which they travel, and bump the adjoining gyre. He says that the fresh water heats the gyres, leading to greater speed and higher waves, which he says is already happening in the N Atlantic and the N Pacific.
My musical education was limited to 101 and leaves me incompetent to comment but Dr Ebbesmeyer says the implication of this is that the lowest tone will be eliminated by the sped up gyre currents. i noted that the gyres were podal/antipodal as most of the land/water on earth are.
I also agree with a previous comment that anyone who reads this book would also ask where is the Beachcomber Alert page which is not the innocuous flippancy its name would indicate.
As to what to make of the water harmonics, please remember that our planet has harmonics and the Schumann Resonances are indicators of this. And that our standing wave is created by these harmonics and allow us to communicate by radio. This 6 Hz harmonic of the Earth has been rising.
