It happens to the best...
I can easily understand that you have a lot of work.
I even find it amazing that you have found time to
do as much for the norse_course project as you already have.

There is one thing that I feel is a certain danger,
and that is that you will overdimension your project
and then get stuck somewhere in the middle of Lesson 12
(say) when the number of cross-references and consistency
checks move past a certain critical size.

Well, if the dictionary is intended only for the "midnott sol"
website, I think it is a project unrelated to this course.
However, if the plan is to make a dictionary whose main site
will be the norse_course web site, then that is a different
matter.

I wrote up the first dictionary page so that we should have
something to base the discussion upon. A "model page", some-
thing that people can criticize.

Yes, I agree it looks much tidier. But the smiley gives
the impression that the files inside are not serious,
whereas in reality they are! I made every effort to get
rid of typos. So now it is up to you and Oskar to decide
whether the Krákumál files will be a useful part of the course.
