Loki is the son of Fárbauti, a frost giant, and Laufey, whose origins are unknown. He is known as Loki Laufeyson, and when someone has a matronymic instead of a patronymic, it’s a sure sign that he’s up to no good (I knew that time I put in at the University of Iceland would come in handy someday).
Chikuku, the Norse/Germanic week had only five days, and was known as a “fimmt” (from “fimm”, meaning “five”. Tyr’s day, Odin’s day, Þor’s day, Freya’s day and the fifth day is Laugardagur (in Old Norse), which means “Bath Day”.
The Germanic people adopted the seven-day week when they were forced to convert from their original religion to Christianity.
