stuck!

Hello


I've recently joined your group and completed the first lesson. What
I'm stuck on is this - when Old Norse is being spoken, for example,
the sentence "hest ser draugr" (a ghost sees a horse) how will the
listener know the ghost sees the horse rather than the other way
around because the r on the end of draugr is silent?

Please help, Hrimalf

PS greatly enjoying the course!
