"Ever-present Pork." is a pretty cool name.
Sounds like something straight out of Ankh-Morpork, on Discworld. (Great fiction book series by Sir Terry Pratchett)
It oincs but is not consumed.
@@AlfOfAllTrades 😂❤The first thing I thought of was "Hog Father"! IMO one of his best.

Great video, doc. Thanks again!
Interesting tidbit:
I recall from a Hebrew class, it was about the word for a husband being analogous with pig.... that in itself deserves a mighty pause.
beyond pigs 🐖 just being considered "unclean" they were considered a poor man's meat, as domestication, breeding and feeding them was the most cost effective... but, I think a pig would be more like a dog where a boar would be like a wolf and open to cooler considerations although, basically the same animal.
Isn't husband ba'al in hebrew?
Loving this video series! Also, complaints about the volume are getting old, just turn it up on device. It’s really not that quiet
i've got it turned right up and I'm straining to hear
It's pretty low, but if I listen to it at max volume I can hear him pretty well. Just need to remember to bring the volume down afterwards 😅
I am going to use these names for the next set of pigs I get.
Congrats on your new film w/ M Knight Shylaman. Cant wait to check it out Mr. Hartnett. 😂 j/k but i cant be the only one that thinks he looks like 90s actor Josh Hartnett right?
stoner thought about "Sæhrímnir": when you boil meat, you get foam/scum. maybe looking at the ocean and seeing sea foam, one would associate that as being the same sort of foamy stuff
I have a question can I give offerings pray to Odin and Thor what's the statues
go on
Dang! Your hat is starting to look like mine.
Gelt means Goat? 'cause in English a gilt is a young female pig.
It's a mistranslation. Freyr rides a pig or boar not a goat. Boar in Icelandic is göltur, which becomes gelti in the dative singular. It's related to the English word you mention. As for goat, this would be geit.
And a hedgehog is a broddgöltur, "pig with spikes". 😄
The story I heard about Freya and her cats is that cats were often given to cats to women as wedding guests. A cat was an important domestic animal for keeping house due to their importance for rodent control. So maybe cats came to be associated with femininity, especially for an upscale noble woman who was mistress of a house. That's why I named my cat Freya, anyway.

tell me that you are new here without telling me that you are new here
@@hive_indicator318 ppfft like it is possible to turn up the volume. everyone knows its not possible to adjust the volume!
Cau dy geg
I wonder if Freya has cats due to her association with agriculture - cats being important pest control for pre-modern farmers, if I understand correctly.
If I'm remembering correctly she rides a golden carriage pulled by two giant cats

@@LSDANNY7x that's what I meant! Haha 😅 yes I couldn't remember the word for it my bad.
5:20 Boar of Atonement sounds like a Yugioh card.
If I am not totally off the chart the verb "hríma" mean in old Norse "to become covered in frost". However in Swedish (at least) that word is also used when you are salting meat for preservation sake. It is a old and extremly common conservation method and you can see the word in for example "rimmat sidfläsk" (salted porkbelly/unsmoked bacon). In order to make it eidable it is put in a bath of water. You could also put the raw unsalted meat directly into a bath of salt water for some time at achive the same taste.
If I an not once again misstaken the preformer of a action/verb (the "agent noun") is (often) called the root of the verb wit the suffix -ari. However an older version of said suffix have I been told is -ir.
I'll go out on a limb here and say that I have observed a pattern when the agent noun turn into a name a -n- interfix is used infront of the -ir suffix, creating a -nir suffix. You find it in many old Norse mythological names.
If that is the case here the name "sæhrímnir" might possibly perhaps maybe, on pure speculation, mean "the one who cover the sea with frost". However if we take the Swedish alternative meaning of the word, "salting", the it could be "the one who salts the sea". However as the word is specifically used when putting meat into a bath of salt water it could just as well mean "the one who are salted in the sea [water]".
But that is just pure speculative thought on my part...
I would imagine it has become used that way in swedish due to the way something looks when you are salting it, no? It looks like it is frosted. It is the English word Rime. Something covered with a thin layer of frost.
@@TheWildManEnkiduthis. Usually the simpler explanation is the right one.
Hildiswíni is my favourite among the swine of Norse mythology :)
As someone who was called “Chris gris” in Norwegian barnehage, it’s nice to find out after all these years that that wasn’t a cruel taunt, but an honorific.
Assuming that five-year-olds are familiar with their saga literature.
What are the mechanics of "atonement" in this context?
It blows my mind that he does all these videos by what looks like pure memory. I can't even keep the names straight...
Nice Pronghorn pin on your collar.
Maybe Female deities are associated with cats because of the special female process that happens every 28 days on average, and the cats' eyes reflect moon that does its thing in 28 days too? Idk maybeI have forgotten the film from 4th grade!
Archaeologists, historians, etc. say that the Svearna associated themselves with wild boars because of their connection to Frej and his connection to wild boars.
Svearna used a battle formation that resembles a boar's head.
The wild boar was considered a symbol of warriors, war, etc.
Hence that Frey is also in a way a god of war, just as Freyja is a goddess of war.
Some also connect the name Svear to wild boar, that it means the pig people.
Cool lapel pronghorn
Oink!

6:13 Saehrimnir (sea-foamer). A suggestion of the meaning of the aforementioned nomenclature . . . He falls upon his foes as the ocean waves crash upon the shore.
Thoughts? 🌞🐗🌊🧎♂️
Pigs are the symbol of agrarian abundance. Their poetic foil is the wolf of greed.
Fun fact from Sweden, with the coldest spring since forever: We have very strict laws when it comes to guns. You can only hunt when the prey is in season. And of course you can't just shoot any animal in your garden! Apart from boar...
Gullenbursti!
Spectacles!
"On the wrong side of the cosmic tracks" is my favorite definition of jotun yet!
I know cowboys are supposed to be soft spoken but that audio is so low I could just barely make out what was being said. :)
