Heill, Selvaarv!

> Alright, here goes - I think the Old Norse cognate of peorð is borð.

An interesting theory - but I didn't quite gather how you envisioned
the development of the word. Did you conceive of 'peorð' as a borrowing
from an Old Norse word (*bjórð?) thus explaining the 'ð'?

I got lost for an hour reading this.
Great overview of extant sources for hnefatafl.

Kveðja,
