Gyrwe

Gyrwe was an Anglo-Saxon name for Jarrow, in North East England.

The word Gyruum represents the Old English [æt] Gyrwum = "[at] the marsh dwellers", from Old English gyr = "mud", "marsh".[1]

The Gyrwe is a reconstructed Saxon farm at Bede's World at Jarrow.

Notes

See e.g. Ekwall, E., The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-Names (4th edition), OUP, 1960, p. 268 (Jarrow), where Ekwall links these "marsh dwellers" with the Gyrwas, who inhabited the area around Ely and Peterborough (earlier "Medeshamstede").

gollark: To actually be able to apply and understand the theories *at all* rather than just saying poorly specified sentences vaguely about them, you *need* maths.

gollark: That's entirely pointless though.

gollark: So... lines?

gollark: As in, graph theory graphs or plotting things on axes graphs?

gollark: nesymerp1 is still active? Oh no.
