  • Hermann Ptilsson
    Hermann Ptilsson Aspects of Norse Place Nallles in the Western Isles I St. Gregory the Great (d. 604) has long been recognized as an outstanding literary interpreter, particularly by those who acknowledge the principle of polysemy or multiplicity of meaning. In a striking passage (quoted here from memory) he suggests that the words of Holy Writ could be compared to square stones; since it is impossible to observe all the sides of such a stone simultaneously, we must turn it over in order to see each of its facets. The same applies, he argues, to the words of the Bible: individual expressions have several meanings and functions, which we cannot properly grasp without observing them from different viewpoints. The learned pope is here, of course, concerned with the 'literal', 'allegorical', 'moral' and 'anagogic' meanings which were supposed to be a special quality of the Bible, but in recent decades the basic principles involved have become fashionable in certain critical circles dealing with secular literature as well (Frye 1957, 72 and elsewhere). Like the multi-faceted or polysemous words of the Bible, Norse place names in the Western Isles have several aspects to them, and it seems desirable that no facet should be omitted from consideration. It is proposed to use St. Gregory's exegetical principle as an intellectual framework for the purpose of organizing a systematic and comprehensive programme for the investigation of those names. When I allude to the three-dimensional Gregorian model in this context, I have in mind that each facet of our notional stone represents a particular area of research, and that once we have satisfactorily dealt with all six aspects of a particular name, the investigation of it has been completed.

Þessi saga var valin vegna þess að hún byggir á eldri verkum, þ.e. Daretis Phrygii De Exicidio Troiae Historia. Íslenski textinn er borinn saman við latneskar heimildir, sem eru textar Dares Phrygius, Virgil, Ovid og Ilias Latina. Skoðað verður hvernig latnesk menning hefur áhrif á þá íslensku og reynt að sýna fram á hvernig þessir tveir ólíku heimar mætast og mynda nýja menningu, sem er mögulegt að sjá í þýðingarferlinu og í þessum textum, sem setja fram Tróju stefið. Einblínt verður á þýdda textann, hlutverk hans, aðlögun og breytingar frá þeim upprunalega. Einnig mun saga Tróju stefsins og hugmyndin um translatio imperii et studii gegna lykilhlutverkum í greiningunni, því þær eru nátengdar og koma fyrir í mörgum miðalda menningarheimum, ekki einungis á Íslandi. Að auki verður ferli menningarlegrar aðlögunar og Kristnitöku skoðað í smáatriðum, þar sem kirkjan bar latneska menningu til landsins. 1 Abstract This work provides a precise analysis of the Trójumanna saga, which is explored concerning acculturation's phenomenon between the Latin culture and the Icelandic literature.

    ACCEPTANCES Page 1 of 34 February 2018 LoAR THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED: ÆTHELMEARC Áine inghean Uí Chaollaidhe. Name and device. Per bend sinister invected purpure and Or, an angel statant to dexter and drawing a bow and arrow argent and a wolf’s head cabossed sable. Amelot Noisete. Device. Per pale azure and vert, a hazelnut tree fructed and eradicated and in chief three escarbuncles Or. Submitted as a "noisetier," a cant on the submitter’s name, the blazon was changed for clarity. In the May 2007 registration of the device of Jeneuer le Geliner, it was ruled: The submitter requested that the hen be blazoned as a geline for the sake of the cant. This term is not a standard heraldic term, nor is it a common modern term. Given the difficulty one would have in determining what a geline is, we decline to use it in this blazon. We wish to inform the submitter that cants needn’t be blazoned. The arms of the Earls of Arundel, with their martlets, are canting arms: but you’d only know that if you knew that the French for "swallow" is hirondelle. The martlets aren’t blazoned that way; but that doesn’t stop them from canting. The same is true here. The above ruling is directly applicable here as well. The blazon will be difficult to understand if the term noisetier is used; and the cant will still be there, even if the term hazelnut tree is used. We are all in favor of cants, but not at the expense of blazon reproducibility.

  • Names in Multi-Lingual
    Katharina Leibring, Sweden 658 Zwartje, Flight of Delight and Chikai Borrowed Names for Animals in Sweden Katharina Leibring Sweden Abstract: This paper deals, from a Swedish point of view, with names for domestic animals that have been borrowed from other language areas and other cultures during the last two or three centuries. There are several different reasons for animals having or being given foreign names. These include imported animals being allowed to keep their original names; a desire to reflect an animal’s origin or descent; a wish to praise the animal (or enhance its status) by giving it a name from a high-status language; a taste for the exotic; and a concern to give an animal a unique name. Similarities and differences between the naming of different species of agricultural livestock and household pets are discussed, and an attempt is made to explain why certain of these naming practices have become common in today’s society. *** 1. Introduction One of the many pleasant things in life is, in my opinion, to be a name-giver, to feel that one can endow someone or something with a unique reference marker, i.e., a name. When naming one’s child, this naming procedure can be very complicated, as there are of course lots of traditions and cultural habits and also legislation that may restrict the parents’ choice. In the case of naming domestic animals, especially pets, the procedure can be simpler, although it can also give rise to many questions. And the decision as to which name actually to choose still has to be made.

  • A History of Surnames of the British Isles, by C
    A History of Surnames of the British Isles, by C. L'Estrange Ewen. (London, Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., Ltd.) New York, The Macmillan Co., 1931, pp 352-365. [Transcribed by John D. McLaughlin (Lochlan at aol.com) and David N. Ewing (DavidEwing93 at gmail.com).] Chapter XIV THE ETYMON AND ITS SIGNIFICATION Etymological Considerations. Having traced out step by step the evolution of the surname from the personal description or address, examined the various processes of derivation, and gained an insight into the deceptive results of orthographic corruption, a possibly rash essay will now be made to reverse the operation, and taking a modern name, to attempt the exemplification of a method of working, whereby the geographical distribution, language, etymon, and original signification is discovered. By etymon is here meant the “true” or original form, that is, the primary word. At some more or less remote period all surnames have been words: of the four classes—characteristic and occupational were adopted words; local surnames were formerly words or place-names, themselves once either words or personal names + words; and genealogical surnames, with few exceptions, were personal names, also originally current words, sometimes of a bygone age. Comparative philologists are able in most cases to strip such words of their grammatical adjuncts, and to lay bare the radical portion or root as it is called. It is not proposed in this chapter to attempt to discover the ultimate element, or to do more than trace a surname back to the original word, and to determine its meaning, a sufficiently difficult problem and one in which certainty is often elusive.

The submitter requested authenticity for "Rus/Slavic." This request was not summarized on the Letter of Intent. Fortunately, Seraphina Ragged Staff identified the authenticity request during commentary, allowing sufficient time for research. The name appears to be authentic for 14th century Russia, but we cannot say so with certainty due to our limited Russian language resources. AN TIR Adrian Makclowden. Device. Quarterly purpure and Or, in sinister chief a whale haurient embowed sable. Beorn Bjólfsson. Device. Per saltire sable and gules, a bear’s head cabossed between in cross four bees Or. Domnall Scriptor. Badge. (Fieldless) In pale a reremouse azure sustaining an open book argent. Artist’s note: Please provide internal details on the reremouse. Hostilia Drusa Saturnina. Name and device. Gules, a shrew sejant regardant Or. Submitted as _ Drusa Saturnina, the name as submitted consisted of two cognomina without a nomen. There is no evidence that such a pattern was used in Roman names. However, the pattern of a nomen and one or more cognomina is discussed in Ursula Georges, "A Simple Guide to Imperial Roman Names" (http://heraldry.sca.org/names/roman.html#cognomen). At the submitter’s request, we have added the nomen Hostilia, found in Ursula’s cited article. As Hostilia Drusa Saturnina, the name follows an attested Roman pattern and can be registered. The submitter requested authenticity for "Early Roman." While we are not sure what the submitter means by "Early Roman," this name appears to be authentic for the 2nd century B.C.E.
