Re: [norse_course] Auðun 12/feedback Grace

Hi Grace,

I feel really bad that it's been over three weeks since I've got back to
anyone :-( sooo sorry. I guess it's just a question of too many plates
spinning in the air at one time and I let this one drop.

Another excellent translation, a couple of comments - really to confirm what
you thought was right...

ok fór hann suðr síðan með
and he went south after that
with

Rúmferlum, ok skipaði konungr til um ferð hans, bað hann koma til sín,
the Rome-bound pilgrims?, [YES] and the king arranged for his journey and he
[- drop this propnoun]
bade (him)to come to him, [YES, you've got the meaning right, let me
explain why... konungr is the subject, konungr skipaði and konungr bað but
the noun is not repeated the second time, nor is it replaced by a pronoun.
So the "hann" is actually an accusative pronoun referring to Auðun.]

er kvæmi aptr.
when (he) comes back.[YES]

Gengr þá upp alt féit þat er konungr hafði gefit honum til ferðarinnar;
Then all the wealth was gone (of)that which? [YES, maybe drop the of] the
king had given to him
for the journeys;

kollóttr means bald head, rather than shaven.

Well done!
Sarah.
