I got it completely reversed. Since the old Danish word is "Kryds" and the Angles said "Rood" beforehand, how could it come via the Irish?


Don't forget that the re-christianization of much of northern Europe after the fall of Rome was started from from Ireland. e.g. the abbey of St Gall in Switzerland was allegedly founded by /named after an Irish monk if I remember correctly.

Also Kryds /Kreuz / cross probably has latin roots (crux).
