Hi, Steve,
it's a comforting idea that I'm not alone here who's just the beginner!
 
I'm trying to get through the first lesson...
 
As for your questing:
Frankly speaking I read everywhere "r" as a rolling one. But I've read an article where the sound /r/ in the end of a word grafically marked like R. And they say that it sould be read like voiced sound /sh/.

 As for Ulfr, I read it like a rolling sound. But now I have a strong doubt about it...

The most distressing thing for me is that I can't read all the symbols the people use here!!!!!!!
Different fonts - always troubles with the decoding the written things!!!
 
Try to open the enclosure. I tried to use the phonetic symbols.
Regards,
Victoria
