In response to Rey's question days of the week and
gods etc. Thursday in Standard English I believe comes
from 'Thor', the 'God of war' I think, not sure
though. Interestingly in the Northumbrian language
Thursday is pronounced phonetically 'Thorsdeh'.

Hello Rey,

You´ll find the names of days explained and comparisons in several
languages.
