Talk:Ilmatar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should this really be speedy deleted? Assuming it's true and the other references in the article can be Wikified, I don't know why it can't work as a stub. Put it on VfD if you don't like it, but it doesn't strike me as a candidate for speedy deletion (unless you've Googled it and found it's utterly made-up or something).

• I checked on google and there was nothing realting to the godess of air. That's why I gave it a Del notice. Ludraman | Talk 21:04, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ilúvatar

His creator of Arda, Ilúvatar, shares similarites with Ilmatar.

Well, the names resemble each other, and both were before anything else. Ilúvatar is like the Christian God and I can't see how he resembles Ilmatar in any other way.--JyriL ^talk 23:41, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The name of Väinämöinen

The name Väinämöinen doesn't mean "Veen emonen", "the Mother of Water". That was a theory by Daniel Juslenius, but that theory has not been supported by later research. Name Väinämöinen more likely comes from a word väinä, which means wide or deep part of a river.
