Cordinau Orca

[blitzkrieg80]

There actually is sort of a basis for the use of Orca, but its not Torc and its really not too Kelt either. However, I guess that all depends on what one wants to call Kelt? If its a non-Keltic basis for a Kelt use of Orca, then, ya theres a Kelt basis? Or is that, no??? Still, yes, Orca is related to Tolkien's orcs, the whales, the personage, and oh yes, the place (which may have been considered her abode and a doorway to the underworld).

To over-tax the tonge, I fear a fallacious etymology for Torc can indeed only be a wee bit mor Ungulated, taut, and twisted.

provide some evidence that Old English orcnēas which makes its way into Beowulf at line 112 is from Latin loanword traffic, please. This is the word from which all Tolkien and derivative fantasy orcs are based, as stated by Tolkien himself a professor of Old English aka Anglo-Saxon, so you cannot argue anything in that regard until this claim is substantiated with some sort of valid proof, academic or otherwise.

Or are we to claim next that Smaug's name does not mean 'to squeeze into a hole'?
