OK, I understand that the -r is meant to be pronounced. My next
question is; how do I do that? Is it rolled? Is it like the english
-er (as in speaker, softer, etc)? Is it like a vacuum cleaner type
noise (sorry can't describe this more technically!) with teeth shut
and lips open? Do we know?
Hrimalf
PS you write 'Hrimalfr' - this is a minor point but I am actually
female so presumably it is without the -r? How do you write female
elf? I don't really want to change my nickname as I've had it for
years :-(
