Excuse me Haukur - given the choice by Gordon!!! I still prefer Alas, because "she" is complaining, and it is poetry, and I'm sticking to what I fancy sounds better, "???pigheaded or what"KveðjaPatricia----- Original Message -----From: Haukur ÞorgeirssonSent: Tuesday, June 14, 2005 6:30 PMSubject: Re: [norse_course] Miscellanea Section B/feedback LN> I wonder if Haukur has a preference.
I prefer: "Poor me, I'm always too small."
Understanding 'æ' as "alas" hadn't occurred to me.
That doesn't mean it's impossible, of course.

Yeah, that's normal. I think "í dali" is very archaic.
