Update on thorium

Apart from Þórefni, there's another possibility for this element, which was named after the Scandinavian god of thunder by Berzelius who discovered thorium in a mineral from the Norwegian Island løvøy (leaf-Island, islandic Laufey)


No postplumbic element exect for thorium can be linked up with Scandinavia.  For that reason I want to call it "norðblý" (the norwegian lead).


So we have two possibilities now: þórefni and norðblý
