Does anyone know if the Science Fiction series, Babylon 5, based the episode 'Hour of the Wolf' on this film, or whether the phrase originates elsewhere, earlier in myth/lore? Thanks. Crescent 01:12, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] In Swedish, it's Fargtimmen but what does it mean?

Okay, its title in Swedish is "Fargtimmen" and it is supposed to mean the "Hour of the Wolf" but what, pray tell, do the constituent parts mean?

I can see that the Swedish timmen is probably connected with English time but what does the first part - farg - mean? Does Swedish farg have a common ancestor giving rise to a similar word in German, English, or Dutch? Don't tell me that Swedish fargo gave rise to English Fargo (as in Wells Fargo, or that city ("Fargo") in Minnesota)?

It's actually Vargtimmen. Varg is one of the Swedish words for wolf. -- Takwish 19:00, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Okay, but are there any cognates with any other languages? If not, it must be a very old word.
Check out the entry on Warg. -- Takwish 15:13, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
