Can anyone cite the meaning “smooth” for glaðr? – Krun 00:10, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * This was done by User:Drago, whose work in the numerous languages he did not speak (he knew only Hungarian and a little English but entered words in every imaginable language except what he knew) was very frequently found to be in error. If you question one of his entries, just assume it’s wrong and correct it if you can. —Stephen 14:10, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I have some knowledge of the current Scandinavian languages. Out of sheer curiosity I checked the Old Norse texts that I found together with a translation in the internet, and found no support for the meaning "smooth". German glatt (smooth) was mentioned as cognate in several word lists, which may be the source of confusion. The word sléttr was translated as smooth a couple of times.--Hekaheka 17:36, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

RFV failed, sense removed. —Ruakh TALK 18:34, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
