nunciation. scandinavian influence on place names certain names of places ending in “by”, “thorp”, “beck”, “dale”, etc. show scandinavian influence. for example, whitby, goldthorp, etc. this shows that a great number of scandinavian families settled permanently in england. a similar influence is observed in the case of personal names ending in “-son” such as gibson, thomson, johnson, etc. scandinavian law terms and war terms the attempt of the scandinavians to impose their own danish law on england is evident from the number of scandinavian law terms that have entered the language. for instance, “law”, “by-law”, “thrall”, and “crave” are all scandinavian words. there were many more such words which went out of usage after the norman conquest when the french took over the nation and replaced the terms with french loans. as the scandinavians were superior in military affairs, the english borrowed from them a few words like “orrest” (battle), …
