intro and icelandic

Hi IE-people!

Just as a short intro: I just subscribed today, and
I hope to see many an interesting discussion on IE ling.
My name is Henno Brandsma (PhD in math, but with a strong
liking for linguistics generally and historical linguistics
in particular), I'm Frisian (that is: from Frisia, in the
Netherlands), and I know most about hist. ling. of Germanic
and Romance. I'd like to know more about Greek and Celtic
(I know Ancient Greek from school, Celtic from visits to Ireland,
Bretagne and Wales, and a course in Old Irish). For those into Germanic:
I speak Westerlauwer Frisian, and know about some other
varieties (as spoken in Germany), like Fering, Mooring, Halunder
and Seeltersk (all derive from Old Frisian, with varying Dutch,
Low German, German and Danish/Jutish influences).

As an addendum to the Icelandic-English lexical similarity question:
the words given "show" that both are Germanic, but maybe the poster
had a different question in mind, namely the existence in English
of a sizable number of North-Germanic loans, like

sky, are, they/them, skirt, etc.

Just a thought...
