Thank you Alan, no one seems to mind - right - what's to mind, Sarah is suited, and so are we, I personally am beginning to suffer from Auðun withdrawal symptoms, i.e. constant running to the computer to check, and I  am grateful for your response.
Little O's with 'ooks, no I get a little square, and I use ö personally, I hope that you will also do this, the squares look funny, when I see the message in yahoo there are a lot more little squares and in O/E only the hooked o shows badly.
Longer passages I could cope with reasonably, for my time is my own, lucky me, and for Hrafnkel's Saga, if you are disposed to post it fine, but since my time is my own I cannot therefore hazard any guesses as to how many others would want to join in.
I have not read any of the Saga, and I might want to know  from you (more or less) where the saga was left, so I can read up.
Very Many Thanks Alan for this contribution, it is appreciated
Patricia

Subject: [norse_course] Auðun section 15

No one seems to be objecting to me taking over from Sarah while she sits her exams so here is the next installment of Auðun! 

 

Please tell me if the “hooked o” ǫ as in hǫnd displays correctly on everyone’s computer. If it causes too many problems I will revert to using ö. Also let me know if you would like slightly longer sections to translate with each installment.

 

Also, some of us were translating Hrafnkels saga last year and, as far as I can tell, we only seemed to get about a third of the way through. Would others be interested in recommencing our translations where we left off?

 

Kveðja

Alan

 

Þá gekk Auðun fram ok fell til fóta konungi, ok varla kendi konungr hann. Ok þegar er konungr veit hverr hann er, tók konungr í hǫnd honum Auðuni ok bað hann vel kominn: 'Ok hefir þú mikit skipazk', segir hann, 'síðan vit sámk.' Leiðir hann eptir sér inn. Ok er hirðin sá hann, hlógu þeir at honum. En konungr sagði, 'Eigi þurfu þér at honum at hlæja, því at betr hefir hann sét fyrir sinni sál heldr en ér.' Þá lét konungr gøra honum laug ok gaf honum síðan klæði, ok er hann nú með honum.
