Mythology reference, so all over the place. I can't find anything on it being the sword of Mars, and I find that doubtful (the name just 'feels' wrong to be Latin). Nor can I trace it to Attila the Hun. I have a suspicion that the connection was made by some mythologial unification theory (something the romans were big on,not nesseceruly a modern doing), and thus the sword of Mars woud normally be known by some other name. Buggared if I can find that though...

I can place it all over the place in Celtic mythology. The links are probably a bit naff to stay, but they do answear the VfD questioner. Syntax 04:16, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)

The supposed Roman connection, as written, was utterly bogus (though the legend of Attila the Hun and the Sword of Mars did exist; Jordanes mentions it). The -ch ending is, as far as I remember, nonexistent in Latin (it could have been adopted from another language, though), and the supposed Latin title was wrong: "caliam" doesn't mean "sword", and the genitive form of "lux" is "lucis", not "solaris". I removed it from the article; the text is a possible BJAODN candidate, but I suspect it's just uncontextualized RPG or bad fantasy novel garbage. --No-One Jones 06:04, 14 Feb 2004 (UTC)

About the source of the throat[edit]

以下の部分について出典を知りたいです。

It was said that, with Fragarach at their throat, no one could move or tell a lie, thus the name "Answerer".

フラガラッハと喉についての記述は、2008年5月29日に追記され、それ以降存続しています。 出典は明記されておらず、どこから引用された情報かわかりません。 2008年以降に作成された他の言語での記事にもそのまま記載されています。(日本語とポーランド語の記事を除く)

私の知らない出典があり、それから引用されているのかもしれません。 私は情報源を見つけることができませんでした。 もし情報源を知っている人がいれば、記載をお願いします。


(google translate)

I would like to know the source for the following parts.

It was said that, with Fragarach at their throat, no one could move or tell a lie, thus the name "Answerer".

The description of Fragarach and the throat was added on May 29, 2008 and has survived since then. The source is not specified and I do not know where the information was taken from. It is also described as it is in articles in other languages created after 2008. (Excluding articles in Japanese and Polish)

There is a source I don't know, and it may be quoted from it. I couldn't find the source. If anyone knows the source, please list it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.222.46.35 (talk) 14:24, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
