Frisian

I skipped the references by an anonmymous user to "Ualdh" (North Friesland) "Wralda" (Frisian), which are totally wild guesses, probably cited from the 19th-century psychologist Adolf Bastian and the fictiuous Oera Linda Book. uualdh is PGM *waldą, cognate with English wald; wralda is modern Frisian for 'world'. The same holds for ""Ivalde" (Swedish, the ancient Swedes called themselves Ivaldesons)", which stems from the heavily critized book Hamlet's Mill by Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend. Donald Mackenzie tried to identify Ivalde as Balder, but modern scolarship did not follow his lead.Otto S. Knottnerus (talk) 13:30, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
