For once, Thursday derives from Thor's Day, of course coming from the god Thor. I think the word dog comes from Old Norse, i'm not sure. That's what a i can remember now.
Asyou can see in pic related, 26% of english words come from germanic languages, including Old Norse, but Latin/French origins predominate in the vocabulary. English in its structure is still a germanic language.

English and Norse really are extremely similar languages.

The bairns always seem to pick it up, like

That's not from Norse settlers though. It's just standard Germanic paganism that existed in Anglo-Saxon cultures for centuries until the coming of Christianity.

bitch comes from bikkje, our "doggo"
their comes from deira
sky comes from sky (here it means cloud)

Actually thursday is derived from old english Þūnresdæg, however old norse did cause the drop of the letter n and in middle english became thuresday

Why are norwegian women so fucking manly? And what's with their facial hair? Is it the food or genes?

Wonder if the 30% germanic lexic in english is entirely norse
>>76080785

Ungrateful cunt. Bumps again

>>76080876
Bitch comes from OE biċċe, which comes from proto-Germanic *bikjǭ. You're right about sky and their though.

>30%
Less than that. The Danes were only active in the Isles for a century or so.

Oh well, i apoligize. I heard it from a writer (Jorge Luis Borges, pic related) in an interview. He´s well informed in nordic culture and its languages, so it seemed trustworthy what he said.

I mean he's technically right in that all the german languages had it at one point and hypothetically they all come from regions in and near scandinavia but it's not specifically from norse in english.
