Intressant denna om Ragnarök har hittat en explanation on Wikpedia:
The Old Norse word "ragnarök" is a compound of two words. The first part is ragna, which is the genitive plural of regin ("gods" or "ruling powers"), from the reconstructed Proto-Germanic term *ragenō. The second part is rök, which has several meanings, such as "development, origin, cause, relation, fate, end". The traditional interpretation is that prior to the merging of /ö/ and /ø/ (ca. 1200) the word was rök, derived from Proto-Germanic *rakō.[6] The word ragnarök as a whole is then usually interpreted as something like "final destiny of the gods."[3] In 2007, Haraldur Bernharðsson proposed that the original form of the second word in the compound is røk, leading to a Proto-Germanic reconstruction of *rekwa and opening up other semantic possibilities.[7]
