Proto Germanic / Germanic Languages Similarities

It doesn't really need a translation , does it :p

Yeah its dutch....
And it is rather simple ...

Was that some kind of gay love poem? Egidus sounds like a man.

And women seldom wrote in olden days.

Sander:
=>Was Louis 15. of France gay?<=
Rather bisexual....there are unverfied reports of servants of versaille,who claim to have witnessed a number of wild bisexual orgies going on in the palace..."
Maybe their statements were taken down after the Revolution???

=>Was that some kind of gay love poem? Egidus sounds like a man. <=

Yeah egidus was a man,but it were often men who wrote poems as if the were women....


=>Maybe their statements were taken down after the Revolution??? <=

Why would that be ?during the revolution would be excacly the right time to say such things...

Yes, there might even be a nice and comfy position in the people´s army if you said some nasty things about some dead king....

I really have no clue, it was just new to me that L 15. had such tastes.

i have heard about men who wrote poems to women that were men in reality, but never the other way around!
:-))

But a closer reading shows that they might very well just have been good friends.

NO , I meant the writer of the poem (wich is fictional)
acts as if he is a woman.....This is a poem out of a saga.Its part of the story.

Ok, so the guy who wrote the saga is not the person adressing Egidus in the saga?

No,

It would be very dangerous acting gay in the Netherlands at that time
(arround 500 BC) people who even where thought of being gay the were thrown in to the sea or march (swamp).

You guys are very love/hate on gays:
Remember Faan 1730? 24 men and boys executed bcause of sodomy!!!

Yes but we changed...

We were the first country with the "Gay marriage".Does Norway have the gay merriage as well ??

The topic isn't called 'Gay marriage' now , is it ?
Please stick to the subject ...

I'm pleased to see the high degree of culture and interest both in Norway and the Netherlands. Forget about marriage. It's a bourgeois invention.
