Disputatio:Olavus Ragnar Grimi filius
Latest comment: abhinc 2 annos by Petrus Tectander in topic Renaming
Salve. Nonne esse oportet "Olaus Rainerus/Ragnarus Grímsson" (vulgo Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson)? Lexicon Vilborgianum editionis secundae habet nomini Ragnar "Ragnarus" [raŋ'na:rus]. Velim dicere "Ragnarus" contra autem "Rainerus".
