Talk:Gulf of Bothnia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Ottar and Orosius

Some historians consider Ottar refer to Gulf of Bothnia when he uses Cwen sea (9th c.). It is possible too that Claussön's usage Mare Gotticus (15th c.) refers to Gulf of Bothnia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rogper (talk • contribs) 16:37, 28 July 2005 (UTC).

Well, then you could include that in the article. :) - ulayiti (talk) 17:08, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Where does the "th" come from? Clearly not moderen Swedish or Finnish. An old Norse þ?--Henrygb 21:33, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Added link to Kven Sea in the article. --Drieakko 06:01, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Hello 4th avenue, I found your changes somewhat confusing, and I was confused, especially after seeing your bad joke comment, which someone was kind enough to remove. I took you for an editor rather than a vandal. On careful study of the changes you were attempting to make I think I see what you were trying to do. It is in fact what I was hoping someone would do, supply additional possibilities and information. Nobody seems to want to change the text so I did it.

You did not support your ideas in the text. I presume from your joke that you know a great deal about the subject and were just going to enlighten us when you got tired, as the typos indicate. I suggest you take the opportunity now. What language still had the thorn in the botten? What do the Swedish etymological dictionaries say? I wish I knew some Swedish. I presume you must know some; you speak as though you do. I look forward to being further educated by your next revision of the article.Dave 06:14, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
