User:Ealuscerwen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi! I am Ealuscerwen, a Wikipedia user from the Netherlands.

My username is a famous Old English kenning that has not been conclusively translated. It appears just once in the entire OE corpus, in the text of the Beowulf epic. Scholars have assigned a vast range of PDE translations to the kenning; interpretations range from the somber ('deprivation of good luck') to the quirky ('beer showers').

I am also active on the Dutch language Wikipedia. Here's a link to my user page over there.
