[edit] Knarr, not knaar

I strongly suggest using "knarr" as the main entry and dismiss the "knaar" spelling altogether. I'm a native Icelander and have read extensively about the Viking era ships. The three spellings "knörr", "knarr" and "knorr" are all valid, but I have never encountered "knaar" outside of Wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.208.66.52 (talk) 11:21, 2 May 2007 (UTC).

  • Support - I have to agree with knarr as the correct spelling. --Grimhelm 21:01, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Support - I agree with the reasoning provided. Chances have it, it was just a slip up. --Eye of the Mind 23:12, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Support Obvious misspelling: [1] vs [2]--Victor falk 13:25, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. User:130.208.66.52 is correct. I know enough about Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse to know that the original Old Norse spelling is knarr and not knár and not knår. Anthony Appleyard 11:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • The concensus was Support. Anthony Appleyard 05:31, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
