- Óðinn (Odin) reveals his names at the end of Grímnismál. This video features a word-by-word reading, translation, and analysis of the Old Norse text, together with an interpretation of how that Old Norse text might have looked in historically accurate Viking-Age runes (the Younger Futhark).
Dr. Jackson Crawford is Instructor of Nordic Studies and Nordic Program Coordinator at the University of Colorado Boulder (formerly UC Berkeley and UCLA). He is a historical linguist and an experienced teacher and translator of Old Norse, Modern Icelandic, and Norwegian.

It's magic, sitting here in Denmark watching beautiful Colorado, while I drink my coffee.
Thank you Dr. Crawford
Me too man - well except the coffee of course. You have to drink mjød!
Greetings from Colorado, Denmark is the land of my ancestors, specifically my father's father's family comes from said land...
You probably dont care but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot the password. I love any tricks you can offer me!
@Boden Nathaniel instablaster =)
@Devon Merrick I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
The inclusion of the text in runes adds a lot, amazing video
We need a Jackson Crawford for every old culture
I am still absolutely blown away by the fact you're working for American Gods! You've both inspired me to read the Eddas and learn Old Norse, and American Gods is the book that saved me from depression in a very dark time in my life. Your work means a ton to me!
Watching American Gods, immediately noticed that Odin is dropping some correct names of himself : )) Cool production, and great to know that movie producers are doing their homework and using the great expertise of professionals like Dr. Crawford!
Tbh, the show doesn't sell me as much as the book... But, knowing now the good doctor throws his hat in for extra authenticity, I must give it another look.
46 "Helblindi ok Hár" probably does mean "Helblind and one-eye"... It seems to make sense that both words in that line would have to do with sight.
Man. Moving up hard and strong brother. Very proud to see how this has kept strong. Thank you for such knowledge.
Great Respect👊👊👊.
Your friend
Derek Foote.
Always a pleasure listening to your videos in the morning. I've only been able to see the mountains from the Springs so far this year. Your videos always make me want to drive up into the mountains and go for a hike.
Thank you for the great videos!
Ohh this is so beautiful! I love Norse mythology! No one ever post anything like this with the texts of Norse mythology, it is so unique thank you.
This reminds me a lot of part of the Lord of the Rings where Gandalf recites the many names he's had among the different peoples of Middle-Earth. Which I guess makes sense because I've heard that J. R. R. Tolkien based that character on Odin on his facet as wanderer.
the rock behind you with the snow looks alike a face with a beard and hat....ODIN IS WATCHING....
Morning Dr. Crawford!!! :) thank you for another great vídeo!!!!
Doc! you are amazing sir! Thank you for this amazing video🤘
Thank you so much for sharing this treasure infotmation, Dr. Crawford. The best of my wishes for you from Mexico City.
Mye videoer her i de siste. Du gjør en bra jobb Dr fortsett slikt. 👍
Thank you for sharing Sir,brilliantly interesting.
Awesome lecture Dr. Crawford, really complete and clear. Hard to comment, considering the deep knowledge of your remarkable linguistic studies. Definitely a fascinating look to the figure of Odin, whose many names seem to reflect the equally many attributes related to his personality. What's happened to your bandaged hand? Nothing broken I hope.
Thank you, a good one. Hugs & sunshine & take good care of your injured 👋 🌞N
5:52 interesting, in modern German a "Bollwerk" is a protective barrier/wall or a stronghold
Wonderful! i'm so impressed with this i bought a Tee shirt! Thank you Dr Crawford
Are these the Danish Younger Futhark runes, then? I've only got a hastily compiled "cheat-sheet" for the various cultural runes of that period, so I'd like to be sure that I'm memorizing the correct distinctions between the Elder, Younger, and Anglo-Saxon runes.
Thank you~!
Please do a podcast
EXCELLENT Thank you
Love this video. But I have a question I kinda related. In the last episode of season 1 American gods Odin reveals his names and I was just wondering if he quotes any poem of either of the eddas. And if so where I could find the runes for that. I would love to get that or Grimnismal 54 tattooed on my arm. So if anyone could let me know about American gods that would be great. :)
Cool!
Skål. You are a Drengr amongst Vikingr.
Your hypothesis that "Fodr" (sorry I can't type the correct characters on my phone) could mean either "father" or "arranger/ordainer" (orderer?) Is intriguing, as a parent myself it seems to me that it's the role of the father to arrange things, give orders.
Dr. Crawford actually has an entire video that goes into that hypothesis in more detail, if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/_wg6md3Rz-k/v-deo.html
I have Gangleri tattooed 'round my right 'rist. But it is written as ᚷᚨᛜᛚᛖᚱᛁ.
Do you have any more of the tees? I went to the site and they are no longer in stock, and id love one!
Dr. Crawford disappears at the end just like Odin at the end of Grimnismal. Coincidence? I think not!
Hi! Linguistics junkie here!! I have my B.A. in Linguistics from U of Michigan. Do you know of anyone doing videos like this on ancient Semitic languages?
I have a question about old Norse pronunciation. In the book "New Introduction to Old Norse", It states that the "v" was pronounced as a bilabial approximate rather than a labiodental fricative. And since you suggested this book, I wanted to know what your take on that is.
The reference to hooded mean hidden face strikes a chord with me because I have always thought that the name Robin Hood meant that he was hidden in the way that he could not easily be found. I am pretty sure that in the time period that the tales of Robn Hood are set that most men wore a hood so that the explanation of the name as the one that wears a hood does not make that much sense.
9:20 I see Biflindi translated sometimes as Spear-Shaker instead of Shield. Any more info or breakdown on this translation?
Grímir! Now I understand why that's his name in Lord of the Rings, I guess.
@@sarahgray430 yes and his name Gandalf is that of a dwarf from old germanic/norse myth, as are the most dwarf names in LotR
5:40 Funny thing, "getal" is Dutch for "number" but I guess that has nothing to do with it then?
Dr. Jackson Crawford is a modern day, 21st century Thor.
What happened to your wrist?
It's cool because, as a native Portuguese speaker, i just can not speak most of the sounds. Would it be too much if I ask for a video of phonemes or for IPA "subtitles" in a couple of videos?
I kind of feel like the other gods would’ve just been like “weird flex, but ok”
😂
evil doer.... spot on.
and was helblindi not lokis brother?
i can be internet influenced 😶.
It doesn't come up in the Poetic Edda, but Snorri does mention that name as being one of the brothers of Loki in both Gylfaginning and Skáldskaparmál. He doesn't go into any more details, though, so it could very well be just another guy with the same name.
@@stellanathaniel3198
😀 thank you.
might he have meant brother as in bloodbrother maybe. are the words similar.
@@ismata3274 I obviously am not anywhere near an expert, but I think it's unlikely-- Snorri also mentions Býleistr as his other brother in both instances, along with his mother and father, so the context seems to make it actually familial. Also, though it's pretty apparent the "blood brother" ritual was what Loki's referring to in Lokasenna 9 re: him and Odin, he actually never refers to Odin as "brother," and as far as I know no kenning or heiti references Odin specifically as his brother. So as with a lot of this stuff, I guess it's not impossible-- I just suspect the answer's probably no.
@@stellanathaniel3198
thank you.👍😊
Hot
I wonder if 9 is sacred because of the year the Germanic people repelled Roman occupation.
Das liegt daran, dass du nicht so schlau bist, wieso sollten die germanischen Stämme die erst im 7. Jahrhundert eingeführte Jahreszählung nach Christi Geburt benutzen?
Fun thing about Odin, is not needing to know all his names to hang with him and travel with him in dreams :) will be purchasing a sweat shirt and coffee cup still! Thanks Doc crow nest at a river crossing son of Jack. 🤗
When should I use the ᚬ rune?
