Talk:Sámi drum

Ring?
What is 'The Samis call(ed) the drum themself for "ring."' supposed to mean?! 'themself' is not even a word, and the setence does not make sense at all.
 * I'm not sure what it's supposed to mean, but "themself" most certainly is a word. See singular they.  Cheers, Tom e rtalk  16:00, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Gievrie in Southern Sami, in Swedish ring, means ring or circle. --Christopher Forster (talk) 10:11, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Oppose merge with ceremonial drum
A merge was proposed in January 2012, but no defence given on Talk, so I am removing that template. MatthewVanitas (talk) 19:14, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Sami name
In an edit by User:MatthewVanitas in june 2012 it was added that the sami name for the drum is kannus, using a finnish book as source and evidence. A finnish book would of course give you the finnish name.

The northern sami name is goavddis (or gobdis og meavrresgárri), and the southern sami name is gievrie. This could easily be verified through interwiki se:Goavddis; furthermore from Varanger Museum, from a variety of offline sources, or from online dictionarys from Giellatekno.

Expanding
I intend to expand this article with a translation of my own FA article from norwegian, Runebomme. Informed contributions and languages fixes are most welcome. Orland (talk) 12:00, 28 July 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm removing the references to this as a music subject. Thought it is a drum, there are no sources indicating that it were used within a context of musical performance. Orland (talk) 12:10, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
