Talk:Glen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] River??

From where does the claim that glen can mean river come from? I've never heard of this. An Muimhneach Machnamhach 16:09, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

This makes no sense. A glen is "anything but a valley"?????LD 01:02, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

In the dictionary, glen literally means a small, narrow secluded valley. According to a cheap baby-naming book, (from which I was named) it means "From the valley" which is dubious at best. The Irish/Gaelic origin coincides, but the definition doesn't fit at all.

Someone please flag this wikipedia entry as contested. It's certainly wrong. Twisted Wrister 02:53, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
