Re: What is a Gode?
Further to Seith/Sooth... in words like Soothsayer, I believe the Sooth part is implied to mean truth about the future.
Afterthought: Not knowing much about the nordic languages, I'd assumed kon was similar to the scots ken, meaning roughly 'to know', and therefore a seithkonur was 'one who knows the future'. It's nice to know better.
