I am trying to translate the phrases "Give me liberty or give me
death" and "Live free or die", but I have been having a tough time
finding O.N. translation to the words "me" and "liberty". I have been
through a half dozen dictionaries and do not find a single case of
either; since "me" is a Germanic word, I tried to back-track it from
from modern "me" but Webster only references modern Danish & German. I
realize that "Liberty" is of latin origin, and know that the modern
Norwegian equivlent of liberty is "Frihet", i.e. "freedom", which I
think likely is borrowed from German "Frieheit", but I can't seem to
find a propery history in that regard either.
