Since the etymology is most likely based on Old Swedish ágʀ 'edge', shouldn't the name be spelled Ágni in nromalized Old Norse? In the manuscripts vowel length was not often emphasized, and Icelandic hasn't preserved the name, so there's no proof that the spelling should be "Agni" rather than Ágni, or? Interestingly, since an initial H- was added to words in East Swedish dialects already during the Viking age and that á is assumed to have been somewhat rounded even back then, Ágni could very well have been pronounced "Hogni". Locally, at least. This explains the "weird" Hogne form. // Jens Persson (193.10.117.108 (talk) 19:08, 17 July 2008 (UTC))[reply]

On Skjalf's father

I removed some speculation in this article that Frosti, Skjalf's father, as mentioned in the Ynglingatal, was the same as Frosti, the son of Kari from the Orkney saga. Reasonable dating guesswork places these persons 400 years apart, and the sources do not seem to justify that they have anything in common but a shared name and location. Requests for reinstatement should provide at least secondary scholarly sources stating that there's evidence to suggest they're the same. --Alvestrand (talk) 07:58, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Given the fact also that Frosti or Froste very well may be an epithet (by which several Nordic chieftains may have been known) rather than a personal name, this is reasonable. SergeWoodzing (talk) 17:11, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On Skjalf being the mother of Agne's sons

After rereading Ynglingesaga, I found that there was nothing in there that indicated that Skjalf was the mother of Agne's sons. Therefore I removed the statements from this page that it was so. --Alvestrand (talk) 20:40, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
