This is part of Finnish legend according to Google. --Diberri | Talk 00:34, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Factual accuracy
Oh, come on! There is no tundra in Finland. There are no dragons in Finnish mythology I am aware of. The whole article (and the whole Finnish mythology section, BTW) requires major overhaul. And finally, where are the sources?--JyriL talk 20:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- I've added a reference and removed the disputed tag. --Nintirtu 09:50, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
I corrected the false etymology.
Could it not be possible that "Ajatar" refers to Finnish word "aika", which is Finnish for "time". "Ajatar" would then mean "mistress of time" or closer to a meaning "mistress of destiny". This is what I have always believed. Besides Finnish would not have the form "Ajattar" with a double consonant if it derives from the words "ajaa" or "aika". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.94.177.253 (talk) 09:02, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- What I thought, though I don't know enough about old Finnish to say that. --88.193.191.198 (talk) 17:26, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
On the contrary, the geminate form fits even better to the theory of the name coming from ajattaa. The form Ajattara seems to point to that direction too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.156.206.49 (talk) 23:16, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
