Wow, thanks so much for doing the research and imparting your vast knowledge.

Harald Bluetooth was not named for his consumption of blueberries, but for the dark steel sword he kept. In the old eastern dialect of old norse, the word for 'blue' did not have today's meaning, but instead meant a sort of blue-black. It would not be used to describe the modern concept of blue till the introduction of synthetic dyes. 'Tooth' also did not literally mean a tooth, here, but was a poetic description of a sword. So 'Bluetooth' is a translation that works, but a more literal translation might be 'Blue-Back Sword' Thank you for putting this presentation together--your own journey with your loom was especially interesting.
