Translation[edit]

Is it important to say what translation the quote is from? Or what lines of the manuscript it is, as opposed to an unattributed quote?Montecarlocars 00:06, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

this article is tagged for not citing sources. The only possible source is the poem, who added this?

Hrunting kan also mean Whale-slayer. Ancient norse's Hron = Whale and ting = death. It is not explained why it should have such a name in the poem, but maybe it should be addede to the article? /Khan, 16:55, 18 september 2009
