If you see the modern swedish daynames I think it reveals more about this...TheOrk wrote:Wow, thats real interesting, I wonder whatever happened to the other three days. I know that I heard from somewhere that (Oden) Odensdag was Wednesday translated a dozen times, do you know what any of the other english translations were?
Måndag (Monday)
Tisdag (Tuesday) The T is probably from T in Tyr
Onsdag (Wendesday) The modern form "onsdag" is probably a reformed word for oden, since oden was considered to be the evil in the "beginning of the darkness"
Torsdag (Thursday) Tor= Thor in swedish, just U instead of O there, in the english version.
Fredag (Friday) Fre, just a letter less, then translated to something easier to pronounce in english, Fri.
Lördag (Saturday)
Söndag (Sunday)
