English

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mr Madsen [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] mr ultramar [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mr Madsen I am nordic, and the real way to pronounce it is Gung-[b]gnir[/b] like in [b]tin[/b], not Gung-gneer.[/quote]gun-gin, or gun-gnih?[/quote] I wrote wrong, it's Gun first, not U like in gun, but a swedish "U" which doesn't excist in English. Then it's gnir, not gneer. I know how to write it in phonetics, but you're not allowed those characters on B.net.[/quote]so it's goon-gner? I'm trying my best to understand

  • Is it an Acronym or a word? Its in all caps, but then every other helmet would be an acronym too? G.oogoo U.nder N.ipples G.oing N.ow I.n R.est = GUNGNIR? [Edited on 09.27.2010 7:23 AM PDT]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SoulReaper9559 Jee-You-Enn-Jee-Enn-Eye-Are I'm pretty sure it's an Acronym rather than a word, I could be mistaken though/[/quote]actually, when translated it says "swaying one" which was Odins spear. it was said t would always hit its target which was the inspiration for the spartan laser. another interesting note: the helmet of the same name had one eye/camera much like Odin who had one eye.

  • Swede here. It's pronounced like it's spelled. Gung-nir. Well, we say Gungner instead of Gungnir. Odin - Oden. Mjolnir - Mjölner. Loki - Loke etc. [Edited on 09.27.2010 6:44 AM PDT]
