Bear with me Sarah, I have not started the course of
learning yet but I have German, which I am told should help and some of the
Old English, so if I can merely get the Gist of this I can see I'm pointed
in the right direction, so I shall then put bits in brackets that I cannot
tell, and I'll order a copy of a good dictionary through Amazon
A man named Audun west (firther) of Kin and
(guessing - poor) he fared out west of the Fjords with
(Umraði) of Thorstein, a good bondsman and Thorir the
Steersman (or Captain) he had (work) throughout the winter with
Thorstein.
Auðun was also there and working for (honum - like enim in
Latin say - that same) Thorir
And then this reward from him (out travel) and his (umsja
- care - food)
He Auðun laid most of (hluta ? wealth) (fjar) that there
was for his mother,
Before he stood on ship it was settled as three
years work,
And the last bit was slightly guess work, if it can only
be said I have gotten the basics of it, then it is worth going through the
whole course that I have, and getting the dictionary from Amazon, I only
wanted to try. Currently I have varying degrees of skill (Very Varying) in
the following Languages, English, French, German, Old English/Chaucer,
Latin, little Spanish (un poquito no de mas) and I think that is about it, I
must count English because it was not the first language I spoke, but I can
teach is to children, once I did remedial work.
I hope I have not wasted your time in writing to me
