Heil!
Haukr segir:
> Yeah, just about. But there are more possibilities:
>
> langr ormr
Ok spyr ek: What are the relative frequencies of noun-adjective and
adjective-noun word order?
> ormr inn langi
Ok segi ek: That just looks like a difference in word division, which is
somewhat arbitrary (or lacking) in the manuscripts.
> inn langi ormr
Ok spyr ek: How frequently does the article ('inn') come before the noun?
> And proper names don't always take the definite form.
> These are all attested:
>
> Eiríkr rauði
> Illugi inn rauði
> Þorsteinn rauðr
Ok spyr ek: What are the relative frequencies of these forms?
Ok segi ek: As a beginner, I want to use the more common word orders, etc.
Kveðja,
