I commend your linguistic acumen. Your method of characterizing Old
Norse vocalization is far and beyond the most accurate representation
that I have hitherto seen for any Germanic language. It has caused me
to entirely reconsider the traditional method by which Old English
vocalization is characterized. I have over the years had numerous
conversations with students and faculty regarding the Old English
runes and their relative accuracy as compared with the usual letters.
In truth, they are no more accurate in that they do not more clearly
illuminate the complictaed inter-relations within the vocalization
system than the usual letters we use today. However, by some such
similar representation as yours, it seems painfully clear to me that
vocalization in Old English could be characterized in a far superior
manner than at present. It would greatly interest me to hear your
perspective on this matter. Vernon Peberty
