These are very informative. I like them much more than the Wikipedia entries, because they are better written. A question about giants. Is the word equivalent to the Germanic Riese, or is there a better word?

Thanks! On the word, I don't know, haha. The Germanic names for the Norse gods differed, for instance Odin is Wotan. Perhaps there is some correlation. Though the word "reise" can also be used for "large" as well as "giant".
