: You all seem to say that the Smiths got the name
: Muirthemne from a place. Perhaps it is the name of a
: person or thing. Perhaps Muirthemne is: 1)The dwarven
: name for Wyrd.
: 2)The Callieach name for Wyrd and the Dwarves based their
: religion on ancient Calliach texts they found.
: 3)A Person (Avatar) that taught the Dwarves Magic.
: 4)An artifact that granted power.

: I personally Like the idea that its the name of a God.
: Perhaps in Dwarven texts Wyrd or the God of Building.
: The Name taken from the writings of another race like
: men or Callieach.

: -zeph

First off, it couldn't be the Dwarven name for Wyrd, seeing as how the dwarves would speak a Nordic-based language (for instance: Andvari, a not uncommon name amongst dwarves is also the name of a dwarf in Norse legends)
Second, why would the writers of myth have a city named after a group of people who are named after a person or god, who's (the god/person) name is an allusion to a city in Celtic myths?
