[edit] Sanskrit?
Based on my limited knowledge of Sanskrit, "Drudkh" certainly does not sound like a Sanskrit word (but it does sound very Ukrainian). Where does this come from? I've heard it elsewhere but it doesn't seem right. -Egendomligt 11:09, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
- Actually the sanskrit word for wood and/or wooden objects is "dru". I have no idea where from did the band members get their version, maybe from an old or inaccurate dictionary? The fact is, that we can't say for sure that this is a flaw or misspelling. 88.156.24.124 19:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Although I have no knowledge of Sanskrit, the word drudkh can be found in Wikitionary's Indo-Iranian Swadesh list. Other resources, such as Drudkh's Encyclopedia Metallum page, say that "Drudkh" means "wood" in Sanskrit, one of the earliest attested members of the Indo-European language family." If the point of the word drudkh is historical, and variations of it appear in several languages, it may be that there's nothing wrong per se with the article, only that the claim is difficult to verify.
Some more examples [1]:
- Sanskrit: druma
- Greek: drus (oak), drumos (forest)
- Old English: drom (thicket, forest)
- Slavic: drevo
Based on those old Indo-European words and the similarity between the Ukrainian word derevo and drudkh, I think there's definitely some connection between drudkh and a meaning of "wood" or "tree." Gavotte Grim 08:31, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
- Drudkh's Encyclopedia Metallum page now says "Drudkh" means "tree" in Sanskrit, but how much we can rely on EM's info is discutable, of course. Boooooooomblastandruin 15:29, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Swan Road?
I'll delete it, or put it somewhere else in the article, actually Autumn Aurora is the most famous record. I putted a band box and uploaded the logo instead of just the swan road cover, which is poor quality. Darksteel 18:57, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Greetings from Ukraine ;)
Drudkh isn't Ukrainian word. Egendomligt, you may trust me because I'm Ukrainian ;) This word sounds very similar to russian and ukrainian "drug" without "kh" (transcription - [drug], in english - friend).
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Drudkh.jpg
Image:Drudkh.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
