- Don't confuse Icelandic, which is a modern-day language, with Old Icelandic, which is the dialect of Old Norse spoken in Iceland. They may be more alike than English is to Middle English, let alone Old English, but they're still quite distinct. Not only that, but England wasn't invaded by speakers of the Icelandic dialect, so Icelandic isn't particularly relevant (Some older references refer to Old Norse as Old Icelandic, but that was abandoned as historically inaccurate).

- What you state is of all importance in this subject - I shall correct mine immediately - it was Funk & Wagnell's dictionary that keeps using Icelandic, and there was certainly no invasion from there! Andrew H. Gray 21:37, 28 September 2015 (UTC)Andrew
Although I have not removed the Proto-Germanic root, there is no evidence for it, since KYNDA is attributed to Old Norse KYNDILL (candle), borrowed from candle; however all this beyond KYNDA is very uncertain. Andrew H. Gray 23:33, 14 October 2015 (UTC) Andrew (talk)
