Copyvio?

[edit]

This does not appear to be a copyright violation: most of the text is from the poem which is public domain. -- MightyWarrior 22:55, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move request

[edit]

Will someone please move this page to Iðavöllr? It's pointless and confusing to decide between anglicizations including "Idavoll", "Ithavoll", "Idavol", etc. :bloodofox: (talk) 21:24, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Done. Haukur (talk) 21:26, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pronounciation?

[edit]

Could some indication of the correct pronounciation be added? Or is this not known definitively?

It would be something like /ˈiðaˈvɔllr/ I think. I would have pronounced it /'iːda'vɔll/ in Norwegian and I have heard that Norwegian has kept most of the Old Norse vowels … 83.109.102.20 (talk) 18:15, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
… or maybe /ˈiðaˈvɒllr/ is better. The ǫ is more like /ɒ/ than /ɔ/. 83.109.102.20 (talk) 18:24, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like it does not matter too much. This is taken from Old Norse orthography:
The low/low-mid vowels may be indicated differently:
  • /æ/ = /ɛ/
  • /ɒ/ = /ɔ/
  • /ɑ/ = /a/

There's not really a correct way of saying it. Like most things in the mythology, it has different names in different countries. --Følelse (talk) 17:20, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
