I hope you have fun here! :flowers:
Old English >>> Modern
Eofor (pl. eoforas) >>> Evers = wild boar.
Bana {bano} >>> Bane = to slay.

Generally in reference to Eofor of Beowulf, and the 'eoforas' that ornamented the Geatish helms. Also the Sutton Hoo helm, with eoforas adorning the crest, and (unrelated by interesting nonetheless) in reference to Bronze Age helms of the Mediterranean made of boars' tusks.

An element of a persona I was developing for the SCA, but family life has kept me away and I never did get it registered.

Thanks, again, for the welcome.

Goddamn, man. That almost gave me an erection. OK, I don't know your gender, but I hope you'll hang around and drop a few more pearls of insight like that around here. 8-)

I need to update my profile. Gender = male.

Your avatar is extremely distracting, as are quite a few avatars around here. :naughty:

I have contemplated changing my forum persona as my primary role at RDF and TR has been TrollKiller rather than BoarKiller, but I have not researched the Old English for 'troll'.

Time to go find a worthy avatar.

Unfortunately, the boar killer in that instance is nothing more than a goofy kid...

and that's not really a boar - it's a feral domesticated hog...

and it's not really that big, ya' know. ;)

True, forced perspective. However, that little piggy exceeds my dick-with level no matter what his antecedents.

There's one of Goering with his foot on a boar, but I couldn't find it on the web. :sad:

Nope, it was a boar, I remember the tusk on the left side was broken in half. Must have made for a grumpy board. :what:
