Talk:Fir Bolg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Germanic Parallels
Fir Bolg (Celtic) = Wer Folk (German, recall Grimm's Laws P/B -> F) = Men Folk. That is, everyone agrees that Fir (Celtic) = Vir (Latin) = Wer (German) = Man (cf. werewolf, man-wolf). All I am offering is a suggestion for the second word, Bolg, which by Grimm's Laws becomes Folg/Folk = people, folk. Fir Bolg = Men Folk, an obvious name for the original folkish inhabitants.
[edit] New section
Added the "Contemporary Influences" section for the reference to the game, World of Warcraft. Glacierman 05:41, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Succession Box
Would the succession box not be better at the bottom of the page, instead of half way? Other articles on 'Wiki' have the boxes at the bottom, keeps it more uniform. Culnacréann Ireland 23:25, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
