Loosely this translates as "you're all Odin's" (look up the Battle of Fýrisvellir). Anyway. This is just a fun page where I'm gradually collecting all the Gaelic words likely derived from Old Norse. There are clearly a great many but I don't think anyone has ever tried to count or collect them all. I'm excluding place names from this list, by the way.
