The_Sadukar Posted June 1, 2002 Author Share Posted June 1, 2002 Thanks, I just wonder where he was from, cos in Danish the word "Landsraad" means something like the national council, so i got the idea he might be form Scandinavia. Do you then know were he got the landsraad or landsr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 During writing "Dune" Frank Herbert was studying languages, philosophy, history. Its very possible that he took some words from languages that he learned. Eg. Alia is real Arabic name and Coriolis is from Coriolis force theory about moves of Earth. I don`t know for sure but he could took landsraad from other language as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nefud Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Atreides means "the son of Atreus". It's in Homer's Iliad/Ilion (i dont know which one is correct).Ordos is a mountain in Africa.And there are many signs of the Arabic language and culture in the Fremen language and culture.
