Crappy lie
From notorious star name inventor User:Richontaban aka 168.223.11.X:
- Vathorz Prior, a name of Old Norse-Latin origin
Old Norse? When then was the name invented? Old Norse was spoken from 800 to 1200, a time when nobody from Scandinavia traveled far south enough to even see Carina constellation. The lie is as ridiculous as the modern medical term Biceps used for Gamma Herculis. I can for sure say that there were never such a word as "Vathorz" in Old Norse, since 'z' and 'o' in unstressed position weren't used in Old Norse, and there were never such a stem as vathor-. I'm going to clean up some more of his (her?) stinking crap soon. Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 21:11, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
