Disputatio:Balderus

Baldur the white

Baldur is really called "Baldur the white" or in Icelandic "Baldur hinn hvíti". The English translation doesn't do the original name justice, since "hinn" isn't an article so I don't think it can simply be translated as "Balderus Albus", but rather as "Balderus ille Albus"? Any ideas? --BiT 21:39, 1 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

If this is for the dictionary, I would say if the question has to be asked—i.e. if the sources don't say—it's not for us to answer. For personal use, I couldn't say for sure, though X ille Y, whatever its merits may be, may be unfortunately reminiscent of Winnie ille Pu. —Myces Tiberinus 02:13, 2 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

You talk like that's a bad thing. :P --BiT 15:51, 2 Februarii 2007 (UTC)
