Thank you Sarah, as for there he dares not - oh Dear! Patricia "Fess up"( I should have liked to have said it was a typo,) what's that past conditional or what. but it was a mistake on my part you see my reply to Alan, I get my tenses mixed up sometimes, pity you cannot ask my Latin Teacher (you'ld need a seance)Just a question for you, or anyone else who can shed any light on the matter - why is "er hann gengi til kirkju um kveldit" in the subjunctive??? so saith Sarah -Patricia's reply is - Because it was the Kings Intent and/or Custom to attend at Easter, so that they could all join in with the Christos Voskres (SP?) or whatever they did you know thats how they did it in Russia, but my PC's keyboard does not do the letters for itChristos Voskres - He is RisenVoistnyu Vostkres - He is Risen Indeed well that's what it means, and it comes at the end of evening, well it's early Sunday Morning sometimes, and then the King could take time at the feast, because he's paid his obligations to his Lord, well they were very devout and I guess King Sweinn was a Christian King, they do it in Greece like that, but Darn my spelling -Christos Annesti reply is Alekhou Annesti, please excuse me I get carried awayIt might also intend - Because he was to have walked to Church provided etc etc----- Original Message -----From: Sarah BowenSent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 3:40 PMSubject: Re: [norse_course] Auðun - section 13/feedback PatriciaSæl Patricia,What an excellent translation! You´ve got virtually all your tenses right [either in red or blue :-)] and the meaning throughout JJust a question for you, or anyone else who can shed any light on the matter - why is "er hann gengi til kirkju um kveldit" in the subjunctive???OK, so now for a wee bit of polishing...þá þorði hann eigi at láta sjá sik.there dares he not at place be seenhe dare not show his face.This could just be a typo on your part, but as þorði is past tense it should be "dared".I'll leave Alan to comment on your ON coinages :-)Cheers,Sarah.----- Original Message -----From: PatriciaSent: Saturday, March 05, 2005 12:14 AMSubject: Re: [norse_course] Auðun - section 13Hann kømr aptr í Danmörk at páskum,He comes after in Denmark at EasterHe arrived then in Denmark at Easter (it is Pasqua in Italian)þangat sem konungr er þá staddr.Thither as the King is there presentwhere the King was stayingEn eigi þorði hann at láta sjá sik;But not dare he at place be seenBut he did not dare show his faceok var í kirkjuskoti ok ætlaði þá til fundar við konung,and was in a wing of church and thought there to meet with the Kingand waited in a wing of the Church hoping to meet the Kinger hann gengi til kirkju um kveldit.was he walking to Church about Eveningand he walked to the Church in the evening (the King walked) (as did everyone else)Ok nú er hann sá konunginn ok hirðina fagrliga búna,and now that he sees the King and his Retainers (his Company) beautifully cladAnd now that (again?) he saw the King and his retainers so well dressedþá þorði hann eigi at láta sjá sik.there dares he not at place be seenhe dare not show his face.Ok er konungr gekk til drykkju í höllina,And is the King (went?) to drinking in the HallAnd when the King went to the Feast in the Hallþá mataðisk Auðun úti, sem siðr er til RúmferlaThen was fed Auðun outside as custom to PilgrimsThen Auðun ate outside, as it was the custom for the Pilgrimsmeðan þeir hafa eigi kastat staf ok skreppu.while they have not cast off staff and ScripWhile they still carry the staff and Scrip (a small sack carried by a Pilgrim)Auðun was showing the customary humility of a Pilgrim since joining their Ranks, and he is ashamed of his appearance, but I'm sure the King will have pity, and probably give him employmentI wanted to translate "while I write the Television shows "The World is not Enough" and made it to behrið ek skrift Farri-Sja syna "Verøld eigi ærit" unless rit is correctPlease Sarah let Alan have this one, because he was so helpful with Part 12, and I would value his contribution, my studies are such an enjoyment to meFern-Sehr is German for TV (spelling? )and Farri-Sja seems good----- Original Message -----From: Sarah BowenSent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 9:39 PMSubject: [norse_course] Auðun - section 13Auðun arrives back at Sveinn´s court, rather the worse for wear.Hann kømr aptr í Danmörk at páskum, þangat sem konungr er þá staddr.
