Sæll Konrad!
Many thanks for the vocabulary lists - they really
help to give the idea of the whole semantic field of a word. I've also
picked up on one of my mistakes - I looked up hljóta in the dictionary and saw
'get, receive' which I skim-read as GRIEVE!!!!! This totally twisted my
understanding of the last bit of the text which I read as the sons putting
things (presumably precious) around the body which was laid out for
burial!!!
Oh well, you live and learn!
Bye for now,
Sarah.
