Talk:Trent Aegir

Etymolgy of Aegir
See.

It seems possible that Aegir may once have been eagre, and that 19th century antiquarians, attracted by the name of the god, got it confused.--Robert EA Harvey (talk) 21:12, 23 March 2013 (UTC)


 * See Trent Vale website - http://www.trentvale.co.uk/downloads/landscapecharacter.pdf Page 8 on Aegir. The alternative meaning is stated as Eau Guerre or 'water war', which neatly links your two queries on Aegir and Eau. Jokulhlaup (talk) 18:01, 8 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Another link from me, this book has another derivation for the Aegir name. Reading this book and other references, does mean I am having doubts about Stone and his explanation that it occurs when the tide meets the downstream flow. More to do with a narrowing of the Humber estuary instead. Jokulhlaup (talk) 18:58, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
