Or to maintain the Latin: Corvi Levia (plurally nominative--you know,
all of us); Or if we want to stake claim: Leves Corvorum.

Documentation of suggested name :



“Corvus”

is the Latin Genus of Aves ( birds ) which

includes Ravens, crows, rooks and jackdaws.

Corvus Corax is the “Common Raven”

found widespread across the U.S.

Corvus Brachyrhynchos is the “American Crow”

which populates this area in large numbers.

These two birds are remarkably alike except in size.



“lyghte”

translates as “light” or “lightly”.

The following line appears in a medieval

Middle English version ( from original Latin )

of a book called (in modern English)

'The Seven Sages' ( of Rome ) from about 1450 a.d.:
a1450 7 Sages(3) (Cmb Dd.1.17) 3147:

"Oppon the bote Thre ravenes lyghte adoun."
Or in modern English,

"Upon the boat three ravens alighted (down)."



So "Corvus Lyghte" is a place where Ravens land or perch.

Perfect medieval speak for what happens at the new site.



Peace,

Corvus would be excellent.
"Corvus Lyghte" would get my vote.

Heilsa all...

Sorry about the tardy reply to this thread...

Thank you Your Excellency David...you honor me with your suggestion...
However, I feel that it would lessen the hard work given by all those
folks
that have made the new site the shining jewel in the firmament of
Ansteorra... I did not have a hand in it's development... I respectfully
decline...

My suggestion, a slightly different tack on the Raven theme...

Corvus Fields...Corvus Hurst, or Wood, or Glade, or Glen......Corvus
Vale...

Wæs Þu Hæl in TroÞ and FriÞ...!

Arenvald Kief av Kiersted, Baron Raven's Fort, Knight, Pelican, Lion of
Ansteorra...

"Bronze bearing gules - Archaic Thunder"

"Better the Hammer than the nail..."

I've always thought it important that we never forget our history. Our
Baronial history is something that holds us together, and we should find
ways to honor it.

So...

Pardon the butchery in spelling but Sir Kief's full name is something
similar to Kief av Kierstad von Arenvald. I was thinking a suitable honor
to
our first noble cousin might be a name for the 2nd site as something like
Arenvald Field. ("field" being only a convienent suggestion).

Arenvald means something like "Eagle Ruler," as I recall.

We'd have to ask his thoughts. There's pros and cons, but there you go.

Yo homey,
David St David
