@umlaut @wylfcen Well son, not sun, sorry

[Torstensson @Torstensson111]

@umlaut @wylfcen You mean what the words mean?

Farfar = father's father
Mormor = mother's mother
Morfar = mother's father

Et c

Farfarsfar = father's father's father

Morfarsmor = mother's father's mother

Et c

Also in other direction:

Sonson = sun's sun
Dotterson = daughter's sun

@schomburgk7500 @Tom_Rowsell @ErrolTostigson Basically, WG Jutes (and Angles?) were driven out from present-day Denmark by a Swedish, recently formed, NG war band calling themselves Danes. Hence, Denmark is part of NG Language group.

@amazingmap @TerribleMaps Greece NOT Western according to Huntington's maps, definition, nor to reason.

@Tom_Rowsell @leffeforlife I see now that you already made that extinction. Anyway, I defended Swedes as the oldest (?) extant Germanic ethnos. BTW, did you read this rather recent masterpiece?

@Tom_Rowsell @leffeforlife We Swedes are likely from the Bronze Age, as a nation, not nation state. Yes, from an originally small area which expanded during the Iron, Vendel, Viking, Middle Ages.

@RWApodcast If any transfer of Bornholm, it should be to Sweden. Bornholm is part of the province of Skåne (Scania) and its language is Scanian. But I think those who live there rather stay in Denmark.

[Torstensson @Torstensson111]

@schwurbeli123 @wotansedge @Tom_Rowsell There appears to have existed a language situated between Swedes and proto-Sami that went extinct some time around the Viking Age. It's called palaeo-Laplandic. It gave a large amount of loanwords to Sami at the same as they received words from Swedish/Norse. Maybe a WHG language

@ricwe123 They did invade Sweden-Finland in 1809.

@martyrmade Was Ordeal of Civility a reference to this very interesting 1976 book? https://t.co/nFuYoqLUin

@homosmoker You might find joy in that the corresponding term in Swedish is fackidiot. Fack is pronounced as English fuck.

[Torstensson @Torstensson111]

@martyrmade Carthago was a feminine noun in Latin, so Carthago delenda est. (Cato did in reality say "Ceterum censeo delendam esse Carthaginem" or something along those lines.

@BrunduChristian Låt Gömmarreservatet vara ifred.

[Torstensson @Torstensson111]

@BrunduChristian Nej!

[Torstensson @Torstensson111]

@RhoddryIce @Maptysk I think that Jastorf is the Ancestor for West Germanic or at least Ingvaeonic.

[Torstensson @Torstensson111]

@user1174658 @Maptysk Danes came to Denmark from Sweden rather late in the day, between 98 and 476 AD. The might have been the proximate cause for Angles and Jutes leaving for Britain.
