Hi RJ
You're back! How are you today? I am sort of practicing and looking for a name for my fiddle.
I'm fine, how are you?
Name for a fiddle? Why do you want it to get it a name in the first place?
It's a hardangerfiddle(a norwegian instrument) and I am looking for a good norse name for it. I wouldn't name my violin, but my hardangerfiddle's different.
They look something like this:

Mine has 8 strings, 4 playing strings and 4 resonating understrings. It's a very light and loud instrument, traditionally played for concerts and dancing.
Very well, a little warmer than need be. :cool:
Try this site, mybe you'll find something. ;)

I am sort of considering Ylva, which means she-wolf, but I like the sound.
I love such sites. :) But more for character names in stories than names for instruments.
It's an Islandisk site, so I really can't decipher most of it very well, but the names are understandable. :D Not all of them are old norse, but most of them are.
I admit, except for the names the only word I understood was "janúar" because we have that too, sans the accent.Quote:

Nonetheless, the Islanders should be commended for preserving their heritage.
Your language is perhaps a little more like it. We're far off in Austria.
