biþ

[edit]

This word is in the Old English Rune poem. It is possible that the meaning of the word "biþ" is more complected then simply "to be" or "it is". I am native to Iceland and there is something that feels wrong with this simplistic view. but perhaps this is simply my Modern Icelandic knowledge getting in the way. But here is my gut feeling for the word.

  • biþ
  1. to be
  2. it is
  3. asking to be
  4. waiting upon
  5. wishing upon

Nazis

[edit]

Why does every article about Runes and anything Germanic talk about Nazis and neo-Nazis? I get that they use these symbols. But why does the articles about the cross and crucifix not mention how they are symbols of murder and drug gangs? Or also of KKK and neo-Nazi groups? 120.29.109.137 (talk) 04:31, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
