The list owner, Rodney Martel, recently made a trip to Iceland and
posted interview questions and common expressions in md. Icelandic
that he used over there in order to converse with Icelanders, so he
became conversant in it with time.
I can't remember the article or name of the scholar, but there was a
discussion in I think, an old issue of Viking Society for Northern
Research, in which a bevy of Norse scholars weighed in on the topic,
I think the consensus was, yes you could learn the reconstructed
pronunciation of ON but it was not practical at all. Back then, in
the 70s, they went to Iceland and the only real way for ON to become
a living language is to speak ON in a modern approach
