Nah - I was not referring to a site that dealt with pronunciation not at all.
Eysteinn I was referring to the site called Irminsull - or something like that
That was the one - it was written to me - I thought privately - I am mistaken maybe
I am simply disinclined to side-track Norse Course by discussing Spæ and Seiðr
I think the Old Norse language is what we are on here - including pronunciation -
But - a correspondent called Nefandis - or something wrote to enquire about Seiðr
And I was not wishful to be thus drawn publicly or private;ly into a discussion - on this group about Spæ or Seiðr - with or without the R
I trust we need not have this difference again my study of Norse Course is serious to me and I prefer not to be invited to side track from the Course - and onto other tenuously related subjects
I hope I have made myself clear on this point
Patricia
With respect

"R" is, of course, anything but "silent" in Old Norse, Old Icelandic, and Modern Icelandic ... Best, Eysteinn ;-) | |||
