Ok… so I have a soft spot for Logyn about the size of Australia… what can I say!!
And honestly, if you ship the babes, then @nanihoo is probably a blessing and she was courteous enough to let use her Sigyn design ;w; Thank you so so much!!!
I meant for shorter hair for loki… but it somehow… didn’t agree with me
Someone just “liked” an old post of mine where I described how to say Sigyn which is a little bit of a weird word. I did okay at answering but I didn’t really have as well a grasp on what I was talking about as I thought I did, and I said the wrong thing.
Anyway there is actual policy determined by the Íslensk Málstöð, a division of the ministry of education and culture, about the name Sigyn. It says:
Við framburð nafnsins Sigyn hefur hefð skapast fyrir því að bera g-ið fram eins og gert er í orðinu gista.
Concerning the pronunciation of the name Sigyn, it has become customary to pronounce the ‘g’ like is done in the word gista.
That is, like what is written [c] in IPA – sort of like a “k” sound but a little further forward in the mouth.
For Old Norse the g-sound would most likely have been [ɣ], like in Icelandic saga. But at the time the y would be like it is in modern Danish/Swedish/Norwegian, sort of like a u-sound but further forward in the mouth, or like an i-sound but with rounded lips.
I drew these ages ago, back when I purchased the print copy of Thistil Mistil Kistil by Sarah Schanze. It’s such a wonderful comic – Secret of Kells inspired art, Vikings, and Scandinavian mythology – when I first found it, I felt it had been tailor made for me! I decided to finally upload my sketches of Loki and Sigyn, who are absolutely the cutest couple. Loki is so much fun to draw!
