what does "Borknagar" mean...

[Qsilver]

Ich kann bisschen Deutsch sprechen

LOL dirty king... Klingt nach Nagetieren

Seriously, isn't it a good thing how just ONE word makes up so many different ways of interpretation? I just love that

Alas, I have no clue what it might mean.

 

[Ziuwarian]

And, anyway, even if it's a word that was just invited, it surely has resemblance to some words that exist, as it came out of a man's mind Wouldn't you agree?

Lorchnagar or something like that is the place from which Oystein took the name, he change it a bit and thought that it sounded cool

 

[Somber Soul]

Phew, I'm glad he changed the "Lorch" part. This word, although it doesn't exist in my language, sounds very, very funny. And there is a similar world called "Lurch". This can either mean "amphibious animal" or "dirt" (ya, I know, kind of far-fetched).

LORDnagar will be very funny

Ok, I can feel it: this thread will turn into an "Alternative Borknagar name" contest.
