</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Goeie dag,</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Ek sou graag julle mening wou hoor ten opsigte van die volgende:</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
Die woord Lord kom van hlafweard, "bewaker van die brood". Maar 'Lor' was 'n God van oorvloed of oorskot. In die Skandinawiese tale is Saterdag Lørdag/Lördag. Sou die God Lor en die Engelse Lord en die Skandinawiese Lør/Lör(dag) 'n gemeenskaplike oorspring hê?
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Die volgende woorde lyk of hulle aan mekaar verwant kan wees: Thor (Germaanse God), toring en die Joodse Thora. Is dit so?
