Recent additions[edit]

Hello Dbachmann, this is in regard to recent changes to this article. So that it retains its status, please edit this article in accordance to Wikipedia:Good article criteria and please continue to use the referencing system already in place. As for the "abysmal weaseling", I don't know what you're referring to; "theories have been proposed" is perfectly acceptable when the source is a specialized encyclopedia. This isn't weaseling. Some of the older rewrites had less access to scholarship, but they generally all attempt to identify major modern currents in scholarship. This is unlike the German entires, which are usually far, far worse by any standard, and are frequently stuck in the hyper skepticism of the Bugge-Mogk vacuum. Thank you. :bloodofox: (talk) 17:22, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sinthgunt/Sinhtgunt identity[edit]

Sinhtgunt is mentioned along with Balder in the Second Merseburg Charm. So it would be natural for her to be his wife ie Nanna. 21 November 2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.186.133 (talk) 13:54, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than scouring Norse texts for an equivalent, could I suggest she is actually the same as Eostre? This goddess seems to be West Germanic-only, and the dawn goddess would fit well with a name meaning "night-battler" and with being the sun's sister; which the Indo European dawn goddess usually is.
