Being that I'm fluent in Danish, I saw the name and giggled. Who, I must ask, came up with that name? :grin:
*waves*:D
I like for my personae's names to mean something
I can see. :grins:
:tumble:
I was so hoping you were going to ask about adopting the man
Mind if I ask what it means?
Not being fluent in danish, only in swedish, I can guess.
Danish---Swedish---English
Dyrb? = dyr = Expensive
dyrbar = precious, high value
hersker= herde = shepherd, herdsman
Sybil, did I get it even close?
According to www.babblefish.com (http://www.babblefish.com) which has a translation feature, Dyrbehesker translates as "Beast Master". Appropriate for the Beastcraft Master.
I'd be interested in knowing how close it really is.

"Dyrt" is expensive "aj, hvor dyrt den jakke er!" , and hersker is "master". "dyr" is animal, or actually "deer". I ran into a lot of dyr in Denmark... I lived a bit south from a deer park. :grins:
Mikel--once I'm off Mentorship and can straighten things out with my characters, I may very well beg after adopting him. With a name like that, it draws him close to me heart. ;-)
Well, I can promise numerous posts with the Tanning Master up river. I am sure the local Lord will also join the fun
