two superfluous languages in the etymology section

Estonian and Finnish are not Germanic languages, thence they must not be present there, lest we end up with dogue included in the etymology of dog since it is obvious that these two languages borrowed the word from their Germanic (Norse) neighbours. Is there any justification for their presence? I suggest moving them to the translation section. Bogorm 20:58, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

concealment of the Old Norse origin

User:KYPark once tried to belittle the Old Norse origin and recently User:Atelaes overtly deleted a source corroborating the etymology as initially explained before the contribution of User:KYPark. The source has been restored and I urge editors who are knowledgeable in the language of Ordsprog over det danske sprog to comment on it. The number of sources augmented by one - Online Etymology Dictionary and I sincerely hope that there will befall no essays of disparaging at least the importance of the latter, although the former is one of the most illustrious linguistic achievements of Scandinavia. If any editor has proves for another version (which I strongly doubt) please add your sourced version next to the present and not instead of the current one which is corroborated by two scientific and independent from each other sources.

Homophone of You'll?

At least in my accent, they don't sound the same. In my accent, you'll has the vowel in wood, and Yule has the vowel in cool. 96.255.9.115 17:08, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

It can vary based on stress, i.e. weak vowel. When stressed, they sound the same to me. Equinox ◑ 20:23, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
