Re: Njal's Saga - Chapter four and par of Five Patricia's Effort

Hi there,

The Arm of the see: The Loch or Lake.
Corresponds to Lögurinn : "The Liquid"
We still use over Lögurinn over Greater Waters.
Lög(h)ur'inn, about Lög'in, on Leg'in'um, to Lag'ar'ins.
Leg'irn'ir, about Leg'in'a, on Lög'un'um, to Lag'ann'a.

Lag'arFljót's'Orm'ur'inn our Loch-Ness-Monster.

Loch Vaneren in Sweden to day before The Loch [Lögurinn].

"Láta e-n hafa það óþvegið":
Let some have it rough. "Óþvegið" is not so connected to smell here
rather to solid dirt if used literary: even today.
the Rough/Rude Wolf:(Not nice [See: details])

Thanks Uoden

Hann er ó'Hreinn(=Deer also): not clean. As the truth itself.
