Vassakov Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Short answer - not enough cannonical information to provide a definate answer. Long answer - probably, as Fenrisian (the language) is based off a corrupted form of low Gothic, but filtered through the Norse themes of the SW source material. If this is a genuine "Do they out of interest" question, then I'm sorry but I just can't answer it. If its a "I want it for my background" question, assume yes and work from there.

Border Prince Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Kenning is synonyms and methaphors used in the viking sagas. One example of a Warhammer 40000 kenning is Sons of Fenris = Space Wolves.

Vassakov Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 In that case, yes almost certainly. Again, canonical source material is not going to be very available but the Sagas of Ulrik and Bran Redmaw in C:SW might have what you want.

Grey Mage Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Sons of Fenris, Sons of Russ, Pups, Alpha, Greybeard.... and were done. Theres not alot of SW fluff out there. Most of its good, but theres just not enough for such a lexicon- why do you think Bran still says "Feth" all the time :).

Silverwolf Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I'd say the best bet is try and get your hands on as much old fluff as you can to read over for them.

Silverwolf Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Old Wolf, Great Wolf, and I'd say probably plenty of others if you take the time to look around. EDIT: Gah, thought Mage's post was after mine for some reason.
