Re: Njal 6 part 3 / Alan's Translation

Hi llama,

We know now that "Brúðguminn" fór í för til að sækja Brúði sína".
That we could name "Brúðför" pointing to "Brúðkaup" also.
We know that the wedding took several days of preparation and the
feast could last as long as week [Auður DjúpHugða]: that marks the
course "Hlaup" involving "kaup" also: short time?.

"En fátt var um með þeim Hrúti um samfarar og fer svo fram allt til
vors"

En fátt samfarar [genitive samför] var um með þeim Hrúti um.
"Við tölum um" We talk about samfarir in plural.
I see this as writing under rose: in clandestine.
=> They did not have sex at all.
We stumble/blunder over morphological errors.
Commmon role before in the writing process.

Thanks Uoden

Already minor, my grandmother instructed me the Common Victorian
meaning of samfarir: pointing to communications.
