Hel don't even need to get real ancient for that shit. The Bear warriors, Wolf warriors, and presumably Boar warriors were a thing up until old Norse paganism was driven into being secretive.
The boar warriors are weird and we aren't even sure if they existed into the Viking age, while Bear warriors and Wolf warriors are written about the Boar warriors are obscure at best. Most of their documentation is from Roman reliefs which depict all three of the warrior cults. Though they may have just been hyper obscure preferring to stick to the most wild of lands and avoid civilization when possible.
My biggest pet peeve is when there is an "olden english" or whatever text with "Ye", and people pronounce it like "Ye" when it really is the same as "the", just with þ ("th") turned to y
No, that's a horn you're talking about. þorn is a cultivated form of cereal grass/grain, with a fancy cob growing on top of a tall stalk. When it's one of the variants that's grown for food, it's usually very tasty when grilled, with just some butter and salt.
My friend, I believe you were thinking of corn. In fact, þorn is an American nu metal band from Bakersfield, California, originally formed in 1993 by James "Munky" Shaffer, Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu and David Silveria.
While we're on Greek: the Greeks don't use a standard "?" as a question mark. They use ";" which look almost identical to a semicolon, but isn't. You can see the difference when they're side by side. (Greek semicolons first)

But, apparently in fixed-width fonts they can look identical:

Where this could be really interesting is code, where someone might cause a lot of confusion by using something that appears to be a semicolon but which the language treats as just another non-special character.
Javascript would have no problem with it. Semicolons are already kinda optional in there, and having tons of question marks in your code is also pretty normal. ie:
input?.map(item => !!item?.name ? item : item?.toString() ?? "New Item")
Just means: If the variable named "input" has a function named .map(), which is usually the case if it's an array, you go through that array and transform its elements in the following way:
is your element an object that has the property "name" and that property isn't undefined, null or 0? (the "!!" is a double negation that would force undefined, null and 0 to evaluate to false through type coercion)?
if yes ( the syntax " ___ ? ___ : ___ " is a shorthand for an if-else statement) then just add that whole item to your output array.
if not, try to call the .toString() function on your item. If that works then that's your result, if not then your output is the string "New Item" ( the "??" is called the nullish coalescing operator - if the left side of the ?? evaluates to undefined or null, it takes the right--hand side value instead. The "?." part is called optional chaining and will evaluate to undefined if you try to call a function that doesn't exist on that type)
oh yeah, and if input isnt an array to begin with and doesn't have a .map() function? We just do nothing and move on without complaining. JS truly does not give a fuck.
oh, you're right lol
The first ?. after input would be more more of a safeguard against input being null/undefined and the .map not existing on it would have to have another ?.
Cyrillic often gets faux Cyrillic which irritate Russian-speakers. But Cyrillic is based from Greek letters which is now getting faux Greek. It has come full circle!

Fun fact: the Egyptian god Thoth is Θώθ in Greek.

Is it really an omega? I always pronounced it as an omicron. Weird...

No really, Thoath just doesn't sound right. I always pronounced it Thawth.

In Modern Greek, the omicron and the omega are pronounced the same, so it doesn't really matter ig (if we're talking about Modern Greek that is)

We're talking about the Greek transliteration of Thoth, so I'm pretty sure we're not talking about Modern Greek
