Subject: [norse_course] help with
dictionary notation
hi all.
i've looked high and low and cannot figure out
what "e-m" or "e-t" mean
in the example below. both cleasby and zoëga
contain this notation.
could someone enlighten me?
example from
zoëga:
hlotnast (ađ), v. refl. to fall to one's lot (e-m hlotnast
e-t).
other unknowns include "e-s" and "e-u".
hoping i don't
feel *too* dumb once i learn the
answer,
nall.
