Grendel

Being innumerate, I need equivalencies to help my poor mind wrap around Grendel-size mathematical concepts.

Grendel means, originally, no more than a bar or rod, or a palisade or lattice-work made of such bars or rods.

I thought of Grendel, and listened for the splash of the fen-monster's steps along the edge of the bay.

Glam's entry and onset resemble those of Grendel: when Grettir closes with him he tries to get out.
