Re: Njall chapter 33 - Patricia's Translation

I wonder where I got Rangar Vale from - silly that because right at the very beginning -

I was checking - before your E/mail came in and I have had in another chapter

Crooked River  and Twisted River I remember that too from another translation.

 

Misþykkja and samþykki I see that I shall have to check and read up in my dictionary

I am aware that I am not the only one reads a dictionary as literature.

Many Thanks LN for your comments

Would they have flown by Samþykkia - provided they could have had Aircraft

Oh shut up Patricia.

Rang (crooked) + á (river). The 'á' is then mutated to 'æ' before 'i'
of the suffix to give 'Rangæingar', the Rang River Folk.

misþykkja, f. "discord" (also 'misþykki', n.) -- compare 'samþykki',
n. "concord, consent, assent."
