Talk:Cynewulf of Wessex

Latest comment: 2 years ago by RMCD bot in topic Move discussion in progress

I think the definition of this King's name is wrong. Per the Botsworth-Toller Anglo-Saxon dictionary, "cyne-" as a prefix on a name or title means "kingly" or "royal". So the name would be something akin to "wolf-king", not "kin of wolves". "Cyn" without the extra E, is "akin to, related to". Unless anyone has another source that backs up the existing definition, it should be changed imo. Kenthraxis (talk) 11:20, 19 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

I edited the thegn link, it was linking to the city (Thane), not the king's attendants —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephstar (talkcontribs) 11:50, 2 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
