Hi there,



En eigi þykki mér meira vert
dráp Eyvindar

Is it that what Superman thinks of "evil"?


"sem við eigumst fleira illt við" is the conditional part
"þú munt því verr fara," is the consequence [on the condition that...


Thanks Uoden
I ask my self often: If case: HrafnkelsSaga is major vocabulary
source of latest Icelandic dictionaries.
In medieval scripts,[see contemporary essays of grammar], icelandic
consonant combinations of [ðs,ds,ts] were frequently replaced by
German "mistaken" figure "z". "Z" came from world were one reads
from right to left. Z could therefore never be Capital in Icelandic.
We conjugate to find genetive of "eð" that is "eððss>eðs" see th's.
R'eð'ur is that instrument of male God. R'eðs>Reds>Rez.
ur/or as us/os depending on people using them.
