Summary
The dossier applies f-r-ḥ to Freyja as joy in love and to Frigg as household gladness. The root fits those domains, and the reference law allows ḥ to weaken to h or disappear outside Semitic, but Freyja still ends in y and Frigg in g; the grade is د+. Native Freyja “lady” and the Germanic Frigg-name family are more direct rivals. (المصدر: raw/norse/قراءة_سامية_للميثولوجيا_النوردية.md؛ raw/cross-cutting/sound-change-laws.md)
Attested Forms
| Language | Form | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Arabic | fariḥa / فَرِحَ | rejoice, be glad |
| Old Norse | Freyja | lady; goddess of love, wealth, war |
| Old Norse | Frigg | goddess of marriage and household |
Sound Changes
Laryngeal weakening can remove ḥ outside Semitic, but the sound-change file does not turn ḥ into y or g. The shared f-r frame is therefore insufficient by itself. (المصدر: raw/cross-cutting/sound-change-laws.md)
Entities Using This Root
- Freya — love, gold, and chosen slain.
- Frigg — marriage and household cohesion.
- Freyr — related native name-family, but a separate f-r-y proposal.
Semantic Evolution
Joy → shared domestic or erotic delight → symbolic abundance. The semantic movement is plausible, while the phonology and the transparent Germanic titles keep it below grade ج. (المصدر: raw/norse/قراءة_سامية_للميثولوجيا_النوردية.md)
