Talk:Germanic chieftain

This text (designated as a "stub") was moved from the Thing-article, where I didn't really see it to fit in.

Covardly I hope someone else will make something out of this text. --Ruhrjung 20:48, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC)

The Norse word "Hof" as temple related to 'chieftain' "hofthing" as head of temple.
Though, it seems cognate with Chief/Chieftain, Captain / (German) Hauptmann; meaning "head" and 'hof' thus meaning "head" as well. Nagelfar (talk) 10:44, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
