[edit] Jord from Marvel comics

Ok this isn't all that relevant and probably shouldn't go in the article but I thought it was mildly interesting. Thor is a character in Marvel comics. In the comics his mother Jord is revealed to be an alias of Gaea the greek goddess of the earth (mother of the titans, grandmother of Zeus and his siblings etc). --Ksofen66613:15 19 January 2007.

[edit] ð

Not everybody would be aware that the letter ð is pronounced as a 'th' or 'eth' and the inclusion on the page that it can be anglicised as just plain Jord, might lead people to believe that the ð is just some sort of fancy old fashioned d and not realise that this is closer to 'Jörth' in pronunciation, rather than Jord as suggested by the aforementioned anglicised version. Not quite sure about the ö, since that can do different things depending on the language and time, but perhaps someone else who does know more about this could comment and put something in the article.Number36 01:48, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
