I know they don’t map 1:1, but Huginn is from the noun “hugur” which is “mind”, so Hugur is more appropriately thought but not remembrance. Muninn is the noun form of the verb “muna” which is to remember something.
Munin is the origin of the English word mind and the word Minne/Minde which means memory. It covers both thinking and remembering.
Hugin is the origin of the word Hu which is to keep in mind or to remember and the word hige which is desire and the word håg which is thinking, understanding and bearing in mind.
Both words refer to though and memory in different contexts.
I suppose its accurate to say that munin is closer to remebrance while hugin would be more appropriate for bearing in mind or not forgetting, but I feel like that’s a distinction without a difference for this purpose.
Muninn is remembrance. Huginn is thought.
No. They don’t map on to those words 1:1, but hugin, hu, is remembering or having something in your thoughts. Or thinking.
Munin is a mind, minding, or a specific memory.

In any case, we can agree that both Huginn and Muninn will whisper into Odin’s ear “Fuck Israel”
Exactly. Whether its remembering that israel sucks, bearing in mind that Israel sucks, or thinking that israel sucks.
