Hi there,

Vel líkaði Goðröði góð reyði.

reyði is female noun: skinned and smoked trout.

ö is thin and ey=eí is broad.

In a the prologe of the composition. The first work
is said to be of Þorodd runic master. (Ari is author of the second,
I was mistaken before)

The examples Þórodd uses are of runes from various times and places
I reckon. He uses "norrænu" as style "fyrir önnkost"
And all the essay is more or less clandestine. All the approaches he
makes, we could name chapter 4. the Greek branch , serve to give
those native and of interest information to tune the Icelandic
genuine basis them self.

The Icelandic measure uses double consonants to indicate same vovel
sound long. Long a in "am" short a in "amm"
Naturally long a in "ám" [=aúm]. Á is slashed: of it came "grant" a
long time ago. off Ó [oú] came "grant" o. Undan Ú kom grant "u".

Á, Ó and Ú are clearly then defined as Naturally long. Measuring 1
1/2 I reckon.
Thanks Uoden.

Venjist eigi góður maður því,þó vândur maðr væniz góðum konum.
vóna>væna.
Good man shall not get used to that, though evil man deludes good
women.
I take the native masterminds literary.
