ArchivesRe: Meaning of 'Mordred'?
in reply to a message by rainmaker
Merci beaucoup.
I forgot one other thing that I found...the old english word "morðor" (pron. "morthor") means 'torture'. I thought that might be relevent as well, since the OE letter ð is often translated as a 'd' (eg. Tolkien's 'Mordor'). 'Mord" would certainly seem to convey the same sense. Ahh well...I just enjoy speculatin' on it.
Cheers!
