Hi LLama Non again,

Your Icelandic is topping.
For "reinterpreted" I would use: "var talin skýra betur".

Lot of the linguistic thing you are referring to, I considder to be
outdated speculation.

Look at "Icelandic 'þið' "you" pl. was earlier 'þit' "you (two)"'
It is rare to find this form in old text as it belongs to a dialogue.

We say as ever before "Við" for us more than one that are present.
To be "við" is to be present also. "ið" the root of "Við"
We say "ið" gives "ið-a" refers to some kind of movement.
ið is also the neutral article (does not indicate which gender).
under H seen as Hið.

When we were "við" we were at same time "vits" or say you spell "of
wits". "Vits" we name "vit" you name it vitt/wit.

"kvitt" is even so are we. First we "við" were created when we
got "Vit" (wit) as "t-ákn" is symbol "t" is time and was used to
symbolize -ð in text (to be censured).

"Það" you spell that here "th" comes in for "þ" and "t" for "ð"

Here are the principal dental word of Icelandic. ið, iðð or it, iððð
or idd, iðððð or itt. As you see D is "drei" T is two.

"Þ" is strict capital unvoiced. As -eð- is never Capital.
In older texts when "þ" is seen as not capital it presents "eð"
naturally.
eðð is never demonstrated in official Icelandic.

I reckon it is noted by "eið" as "ei eð" can be interpreted as not
(ei) eð.

"eðð" is used in consonant combinations: as in iðn.(iððnn)
"eðð" in combination is the only voiced letter in icelandic tongue
today same situation ruled 2000 years ago.

"þér/yður/yður/yðar" is addressing form to aliens, the following
speach
subjunctive for reason of courtesy. "Þér" coms
from : "þú/þig/þér/þín"
Emphasising the fact you considder your audience to be united.

Later on this form pointed to snob.

"Þið/ykkur/ykkur/ykkar" is the classical Icelandic plural form for
more than one.
Wulfila did not alter the sound system of the Icelandic tongue.
My ancestors were more wolves that this "Per-sian son".
Ingoúlf, Kaúlf, Bjoúlf, Aúlf, ... there are lot of them in disguise
here.
Hope this helps,
