Do you have any problems distinguishing between the
four L-words in the following English sentence?

Let the Light be Lit Late!

Similarly there should be no trouble with:

"Þeir vega þær með þér".


The English vowels in your example are much more different from each other
than the Norse ones are, but I take your point.

And I think you've missed a certain important
point. Old Norse isn't really a long-dead language!
It is basically the same as Modern Icelandic. The
difference is mostly in spelling.


Another point taken.

Thanks for your help.
