Talk:Laukaz

An outline under construction for an eventual article on the concept laukaz. All who stumble upon this page are encouraged to contribute so that an individual article can be created. –Holt T•C 10:49, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Outline of article
(As the article clearly is connected to alu (also auja, laþu and erilaz), the articles should be treated somewhat similar.)

Lead
(Image suggestion – DR BR67 which bears the inscription laþu lauk=aR * g=ak=aR alu – Note: This image may be copyrighted.) (ToC)

Material for article
