Subject: [norse_course] calf and
kid
A very uneducated guess is that it is a general collective
expression
especially since it doesn't mention sheep - - which I
would think were more
important than goats. Calf and kid has an
appealing sound. Besides which
there would not have been any calves
or kids until the spring since any such
that were taken from the old place
would by the following spring be
yearlings.
Anyway there are
problems with this whole shebang. I question how these men
could put
out this superhuman effort while recovering from terrible wounds
to their
Achilles tendons.
