Actually the letter Æ is the third last letter in the Danish and Norwegian alphabet (after Z). But in this article, the god Ægir is the first god mentioned. I think he should be the last one.
Since this is the English language Wikipedia, shouldn't the names be the English ones and not the Old Norse? The names are difficult to decipher, making this page less useful than it could be as a reference work.

English equivalents would be nice with the originals in parentheses or something. —This is all phonetic script. I could still work on it, but you could do it yourself.
- These are Old Norse gods, they have Old Norse names and that can't be helped. Presumably by "English equivalents" you mean some sort of Anglicized spelling. Providing such forms is certainly on the table. Could you state which specific names you are having difficulties deciphering and what you mean by "deciphering"? Haukur 23:08, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
