Hi AZS I just wanted you to know I undid some of the changes you made to the goblin page. I'm messaging you to explain why so no offence can be taken. You had changed the spelling of "Kobalos" to "Cobalus." The issue with this is that all of the sources I've found and used on the page point towards the original form of the word being the ancient greek "Kobalos" or "Kobaloi." The version you changed it to "Cobalus" is Latin, which came sometime later.

From the Latin the word branched to form different words in different languages in Europe. In Germany it became Kobold. In the Norman language it became "Goubelin." The Normans conquered northern France and in Old French the word "Gobelin" developed. The Normans conquered England in 1066-1075 and in England the word Goblin developed.

Hope this cleared up a few things. I just want to avoid going back and fourth undoing each other's edits.
