[edit] Mythology articles
Many thanks for your message :) But as Haukur previously said, you've done some very useful work too. Sigo 05:12, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- And you’ve been doing quite a good job again this week, especially with Skaði. Some articles really needed to be rewritten. But you may be wrong (and you may be right too) about that. The text (Vafþrúðnismál) uses the word hundrað, which can mean both 100 and 120. In some translations you find 100, in others 120. I don't think there's any way to know.

- That's certainly good to know then, and I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. My source was Faulkes (verified by Brodeur) and Larrington, but if it can mean both then I think a good compromise can be reached by including what you stated in the article, so please feel free to edit it accordingly.

- That's fine the way it is. Hundrað only has a symbolic meaning. It doesn't really matter how much it is, so I think "hundred" is the best translation. Sigo 19:13, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
