Kelta and Jesus said to walk on water?

Post by tstrooper »

Was the story of Jesus being able to walk on water, copy pasted from earlier stories, like this one, made up about kelta.

It is much easier to link to OL-wiki (that has the most up-to-date translation) than scan from the book: https://wiki.oeralinda.org/view/EN061.28_Burgmaids
All these misdeeds, though, did nothing to improve her position. When she realized that the navigators only shunned her more and more, she sought to entice them through fear. Whenever the moon was full and the sea stormy, she would go out, treading the wild swells and shouting at the seafarers that they should all perish if they refused to worship her. She also blinded their eyes so that they mistook land for water and water for land, whereby many a ship was lost [064] with man and mouse.

Kelta, who was rumored to walk as easily on water as on land, went to the mainland and onward to Massalia.

Hi Jan,

Do you consider that the part "HLIP HJU OVER ET WILDE HEF", more particular "HEF"
could mean the steven of a ship. Voor- of achtersteven, doorgaans hoger gelegen dat de rest van het schip.

Then the sentence would mean just that she walks on one of the higher ends of the ship, notably enduring more effect of the wild sea waves, hence "ET WILDE HEF".

See "heveaken" or "heve" van een schip.

To find out you can check the other uses of the word:

[049/25] THÀT WILDE HEF STAPTE ALSANÁKA WR BERGA ÀND DÉLON

[086/20] ... ÀND HÍF HINI VR BORD INTO THÀT WÀLLANDE HEF.

[116/10] THÉR ... WAS SÉ. SIN HEF FÉTERE THENE HRINGDIK.

[143/15] THÀT BRÛWSENDE HEF SLIKTH ANTHA HRINGDIK THÉRE BURCH.

... and Old Frisian dictionaries.
