Hello,
I am currently working on a story and would like to figure out how to translate a sentence into Old Norse. I have visited the course website and pieced together what I can (I'm short on time, but I'd like to go back and really look at the language course). What I really lack, aside from the ability to write in ON, is the following word:
Cleanse (meaning purify) - I trolled the internet and come up with two
possibilities: hreinsa (which I think means 'to rinse; cleanse') and fægja (which possibly means 'to cleanse; polish')
The conjugation (or at least both forms of):
Heal (lækna?)
The word for 'cleanse'
And the correct word for:
Land (land? - meaning, kingdom or realm)
The sentence, as it stands, is:
The child shall cleanse the magic and heal the land.
So, what I have thus far (and so very poorly translated)
is:
Kindrinn skal hreinsar fróðleikinn ok hann
skal læknar landinn (or bjǫðinn?).
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank you,
Sam
