Hi! I am Ealuscerwen, a Wikipedia user from the Netherlands.
My username is a famous
Old Englishkenning that has not been conclusively translated. It appears
just once in the entire OE corpus, in the text of the
Beowulf epic. Scholars have assigned a vast range of
PDE translations to the kenning; interpretations range from the somber ('deprivation of good luck') to the quirky ('beer showers').
