Subject:	Kennings, anyone? Nordic knowledge needed here!
Message:
I know of kennings as a descriptive substitute for a name, like the good old Old English hw¿l-râd (whale-road) for the sea. The idea of multiple names as a kind of kenning is new to me, and not one I'm familiar with. Can anyone with some knowledge (greater than zero!) of Nordic texts help on this one? Lúthien Rising —————————————————————— Reading the Sil for the first time? Getting confused? Look in the Reading Room every weekend for the NDQ (No Dumb Questions) thread. Because there are* no dumb questions.* (luthienrising at hotmail dot com)
