Talk:Ullr

Father

Who is father of Ullr? His mother is Sif, but Thor is not his father. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.86.230.114 (talk) 08:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Asterisk

It is questionable whether we should mark the Common Germanic form as unattested, *Wulþuz. It is true, we don't have the normalized wulþuz in runic, but we do have owlþu, read as wolþu, which is considered its equivalent. There was no orthography in the 3rd century. dab (𒁳) 11:05, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Not glory

Not glory but Ull ~ *Wulþuz ~ wealth. It should have been obvious. Rursus dixit. (^mbork³!) 20:00, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Actually, that is the same word root. Glory, Honour, Wealth, Worthy, and many many more are connected to the same root. Compare the etymology of "worth" and "wealth". Alpharts Tod (talk) 15:33, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Thorpe's translation

In the Poetic Edda section, the credit tag "– Thorpe's translation" after the English translations was on the same line as the last line of text. As the reader first encounters it, it seems as if it should be part of the text, which is confusing -- especially if the browser window is too narrow for the full width of the lines. I've taken it off the three fragments and credited Thorpe in the first para. --Thnidu (talk) 22:23, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Ullrshof

I'm curious what the translation as "church" is based on, it should mean "ullr's court" as in the household of a king or a judicial court.

In German it could also mean "yard" as in a farm (also "Bauernhof") built around an enclosed yard with the buildings forming an U or O around the working place in the middle and is related to "Hufe", the piece of farmland a single farmer owned in a village or town, but those words seem to never have formed in swedish. 62.143.204.230 (talk) 12:53, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Ullinshof

It is a debated topic in archeology, however, there is a consensus that the Norse religion did not generally have temples, but rather was practiced in halls and nature. Therefore i think it is misleading to call it a temple, as Hoff can also mean hall. 2001:464C:3CE:0:6847:EE55:D1E9:FA25 (talk) 14:39, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

I've changed, leaving it unstranslated as "hof" and linked it to "Heathen hof". It isn't ideal as I think the Heathen hof page should discuss the semantic ambiguity more but I think it is an improvement as I do see your point. What do you think? Ingwina (talk) 16:53, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
