We can possibly help. Here's an extract from my (perhaps too cynical) FAQ:

Q. How do I say [whatever] in Old Norse?

A. Okay, I get a lot of questions like that so I'm going to try to tell you how you have the best chance of getting a useful reply.
First of all you're better of sending the question to the mailing list than to me personally. That way, even if I don't answer someone else might.
Secondly you should try to sound like you've done your homework. Spend some time framing your question and tell us what you've done so far to find the answer. Be polite. People who ask hit-and-run questions asking other people to do their work for them are generally not well thought of.
Thirdly consider whether Old Norse really did have the term(s) you're looking for. It's amazing how many questions I get asking me to translate some concept or idea that, as far as I know, is alien to mediæval Norse culture.
