Re: Tor
Mar 15, 2006, 22:49
and we should remember that Thor is mispronounced in English.. In Scandinavia it is Tor just as my Portal name is pronounced "Torgrim" and not "Thorgrim", Thor Heyerdahl is Tor Heyerdahl.

So with a T instead of a Th - Tor, Tunor and Taranis begin to sound more alike and are all thunderers. Anyone know how the Welsh would pronounce "taran" meaning thunder?

Torro and Taurus the "thundering bull" is interesting too if you have read the "Bull from the Sea" a novel about earthquake in ancient Crete
