Hallo Petrus!<br>
<br>
Jy het gevra:<br>
<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</span><br>
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">>(dag) 'n gemeenskaplike oorspring hê? </span><br>
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"></span> <br>
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><font face="Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif">Het
is vrijwel zeker dat 'lord' voortgekomen is uit Oud-Engels 'hlafweard'.
Een minder oude vorm is namelijk 'hlaford'. En het Middel-Engels kende
'loverd'. Deze evolutie is dus eenvoudig aan te tonen.</font></span><br>
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"></span> <br>
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><font face="Verdana">Het
is gebruikelijk dat de Oud-Engelse lange 'a' tot een 'o' werd vervormd
in later Engels. In het Schots werd het een tweeklank, 'ai'. Daarom
kent men in het Scots thans 'laird'. Vergelijk verder Nederlands
'been', Oud-Engels 'bán', Schots 'baine', hedendaags Engels 'bone'; ook
Nederlands 'heem', Oud-Engels 'hám', Schots 'haime' en hedendaags
Engels 'home'.</font></span><br>
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"></span> <br>
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><font face="Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Sans-serif">'Lördag'
wordt meestal in verband gebracht met 'laurdag' als oorsprong, wat
verwijst naar de reinheid van die dag; een soort nieuw begin dat door
de goden gesymboliseerd werd door de boel te wassen. Vergelijk het
woord verder met 'logen' en 'loogzout'.</font></span><br>
<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? </span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
<br>
Thor en Donar zijn dezelfde woorden, waarvan Donar het oorspronkelijkst
is gebleven. De namen zijn vernoemd naar de donder. In het Oud-Noors
vind je een typisch voorbeeld van de Scandinavische syncope, waar dus
een hele lettergreep in een woord verdween:<br>
*thonar > *thonr > *thor zou een aannemelijke evolutie kunnen zijn.<br>
<br>
Bedoel jij met 'toring' hier 'wrath' of 'tower'? Over de Joodse Thora
en over de woordoorsprong weet ik te weinig om iets zinnigs te zeggen.
Misschien weer Reinhard iets te melden over de Hebreeuwse en
Proto-Semitische etymologie van dat woord.<br>
<br>
Hartelijke groeten, <br><span class="sg">

<p>Jonny, Hlaford < hlafweard is the Old-English ancestor of the modern English word 'lord' (cfr lady < hlaefdige) </p>
<p>Petrus,
there cannot be such a relationship here. As you stated yourself, lord
has the older attested form Hlaford. Sw./Danish loerdag; Norwegian
(nynorsk) laurdag come from ON laugardag, litterally washing day. The
verb "lauga" in Old Norse meant "to bathe", "to wash". Those stems
(*hlaib- + *ward- vs. *laug-) are clearly not related. <br>I cant find the origin of the name Lor at once (was he a Latin god?) but I am pretty sure this is not related either</p>

<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">It's Old English: hlaf - loaf of bread, or yeast plant; weard -<br>warder/guardian.<br><br>yeast-guard or "Treasurer" in the migratory days when taking care of the yeast
<br>plant was vital to the life of the community, and was subjected to<br>centralized control.<br><br>Over the centuries it transformed to "lord", rubbing out the<br>earlier "drihten", "frea", etc.
