Could it not be a corrupted form of al-Rahman? Zsigri 23:35, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't seem likely. Considering that the Christians also thought that "Allahu Akbar" referred to Muslim worship of twin goddesses Allat and Akbar, I suppose anything is possible. The question is, what can be established as true (and then reported in a secondary source, so I can be added here uncontroversially), and the answer is, probably, nothing. --75.36.136.207 (talk) 19:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know that! --Bluejay Young 10:38, 25 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Should this article mention that in Games Workshop's [1] game, Warhammer 40k [2], the Tyranids [3] have an unit called Termagant [4]? --Acolyte of Discord 22:14, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since the're NOT called that...probably not, no. So, I changed it.213.113.252.16 (talk) 16:43, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Walter W. Skeat[edit]

In the article: "W. W. Skeat in the 19th century, speculated that the name was originally "Trivagante", meaning 'thrice wandering'" I think this refers to Skeat's notes to Chaucer's Tale of Sir Thopas. If anyone can find the note, and improve the reference, that would be a useful tweak.--Wetman (talk) 10:09, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A mystery[edit]

Yes, Mahound is mentioned in the English mystery plays. But I challenge anybody to provide evidence of the use of Termagant. I have done some searches of the texts listed here and can find nothing. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:40, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
