Re: painting hyperbaton on the wall

Hi LN
My solemn meaning was to draw your attention to the fact:
men that work in translating day after day ,like those Icelandic
medieval scholars: responsible for the original text we are dealing
with now in newer publications,
are most often inclined to let it affect there own work in there
more native tongue.
Now Men are flammable, as before.

Thanks Uoden.

Delusive. Icelandic of today.
Speaking of the good one, when he is mentioned.
