Travelling Etymologies: Names in Iceland and England

Why it's on BrighterTube

From a channel a BrighterTube curator approved in full · found via Round 4 discovery: listed as a featured channel by Lumen channel(s) NativLang · 85% confidence

From a channel Lumen includes in full: Every transcript sampled is substantive teaching by a medieval studies professor: historical linguistics, etymology, grammar, literary theory and history of science. The content is clearly organized and explanatory. Titles are descriptive rather than clickbait, and short 'Surprisingly Connected Etymologies' and 'Endnote' entries are still dense etymology lessons. The only doubtful item is the 2-minute 'Raincheck', which looks like a channel notice and is caught by a title pattern.
