Brilliant, so this is why Danish for glasses is briller. Although I thought skin itself is Danish for shine, and indeed the root for the word shine. Like skip maps to the English ship. I just loved the idea that skin comes from shine the radiance of people, looking it up though it seems to stem from hide or peel; I’m not sure how one would peel the sun. I don’t think the Vikings were big on heliospheric physics and coronal mass ejections.
