7. "narwhale" is just a variant spelling of "narwhal"

The granddaddy of all dictionaries, the OED, answers some of the questions DUers have been asking about narwhals:

Forms: . 16 narhwhale, 17- narwhale.. 17 narhual, 17 narhwal, 17- narwal, 17- narwhal.. 17 narval, 17 narvhal. Probably < Danish narhval, cognate with Norwegian narkval, Swedish narval (1754), and further cognate with Old Icelandic náhvalr < a first element of uncertain origin (perhaps < nár corpse: see NEED n.1, with reference to the colour of the animal's skin; or perhaps shortened < nál NEEDLE n., with reference to the straight tusk) + hvalr WHALE n.; the epenthetic -r- in the Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish forms has not been satisfactorily explained (see note below). Compare Middle French nahual (1598; French narhual (1647), narwal (1676), narval (1723)), Spanish narval (1706), Italian narvalo (1745), Dutch narwal (1769), German Narwal (18th cent.), all ultimately borrowings from Scandinavian.

Alternative etymologies connect the first element with the Germanic base of either NASE n. or NARROW adj.; both of these suggestions assume that forms with -r- are primary, and that forms without -r- (the earliest attested forms) are alterations by folk etymology, after Old Icelandic nár corpse.

A small Arctic whale, Monodon monoceros (family Monodontidae), which has only two teeth, located in the upper jaw, one (or sometimes both) of which in the male develops into a straight spirally twisted tusk. Also called sea-unicorn.

11. Just wanted to let you know that

someone read this post and appreciates it. :hug: <-- Sorry to be this bold, but you deserve it.

[Lionel Mandrake]

13. Why, thank you, Ma'am

It's very nice of you to say that. :)

[EastTennesseeDem]

15. It's good to know that. Thank you Mandrake.

Now please make me a drink of grain alcohol and rainwater and help yourself to whatever you like.

[Lionel Mandrake]

17. Sorry, EastTennesseeDem. We're out of rainwater.

All we have is fluoridated water. Will that be okay?

[EastTennesseeDem]

20. This is my serious face, Mandrake

Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?

(Probably the first time I've ever been sidetracked by an internet handle)

[Lionel Mandrake]

23. I'm not sure I follow you, Jack.

Do you have any evidence of this alleged plot?
