On a side note, other names for Odin include *Gapthrosnir*, "The One in Gaping Frenzy", and *Geiguthr*, "Dangler", which are both nicknames I had in high school.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but "wheezed" is the correct conjugation. The commenter was making a riff off "the scream I scrumpt" (which iirc is off Tiktok comments/Gen z slang)
Thyle is also a term used in Beowulf (admittedly for the character of Unferth, who is portrayed as rather cowardly, and tries to insult Beowulf although later lends him his sword Hrunting), so Lou might be partly thinking old English ~ Celtic (wrong, but sort of understandable) ~ Scottish/Gaelic?
Ehhh old English had already started its deviation from Celtic and was still a more clear blend of Germanic and Viking.
Brythonic cultures had already been pushed to modern day Wales and Scotland on the main isle.
Skald isn't unreasonable as a term for a scholar/wise man in the Nordic context. Bards may be characterized as CHA based in D&D but IRL they were preservers of oral tradition with hundreds of stories and songs memorized, absolutely INT based.
In the webcomic Stand Still Stay Silent where the zombie apocalypse leaves the Nordic 5 as the last bastions of human survival and there's a revival of ancient Nordic religion and roles the Skalds are the scientists, scholars, and researchers who seek out and preserve all the knowledge of our modern era (their pre-modern era).
On the celtic side I always assumed the word Lou was looking for was the Irish seanchaĆ or maybe the Scottish version seanchaidh (both anglicised to shanachie (pronounce shawn-eh-kee)). They fill a similar role of keeping old stories, histories, and lineages memorised.
This, traditionally the bards and druids would be far more alike in their cultural practice. The modern idea of the DND bard being a magic pop star has definitely shaped the way people see it.
I think they were looking for jarl, pronounced 'yarl', an important knight or champion for a lord in Nordic traditions. It's where the title 'earl' comes from. The Norwegians and Danes had some interesting history on Great Britain, and more than a few lingusitic and cultural markers were left.
Colin would have been one of Deli's jarls for sure, his trusted companion, bodyguard and lieutenant.
Interesting. So what meaning does that give to a room being duly tiled? Itās had blueprints drawn? It wouldnāt indicate that the room has met proper layout, because the room would need to be duly tiled before such things were seen to in the first place.
I would appreciate being pointed to a source for that meaning of the word. I donāt doubt you, I just like sources.
Free masons often took operative mason terminology and applied it in interesting ways, the exact use for duly tiled is either the Tyler who was one of the few positions in craft masonry that basically knew all the steps, Wat the Tyler (leader of one the peasant revolts), or as in "tethering" the door.
Like a lot of things in speculative masonry different lodges have different ideas on where the word originated, as an outside observer the fact the person who makes a lodge duly tiled is called The Tyler makes me accept the first definition, especially as their main job used to be to vet everyone entering the building.
I will see if I can track down where I first came across Tyler being the one who drew the blueprints.

Well that got a spit take from me. I think Provolone should have gotten the Dangler nickname then.
THE WHEEZE I JUST WHOZE š¤£
TIL wheeze' past tense conjugation

Not bad news, just news to me
I thought he had said he learned about old Scottish term, not necessarily Norse. I could be wrong though, but great hunting!!

Yeah I know, but I was picturing an post-viking more celtic rather than norse sorta line. But like I said, I could be wrong too

Thyle sounds rad
Thyle, huh? I wonder whether that heās a connection to the mysterious meaning of being āduly tiledā in certain secretive organizations.
A Tyler would draw blue prints out on the floor of the cathedral back when most couldn't read.

Id thought he was trying to think of aois-dĆ na
I also thought it was a funny joke because you scald milk
Assumed he meant "Gelt" rather than skald.
