Thanks LN - you will notice that on the group I appear as Patti - this is because my friends the "Other side of the Water" have decided to re-name me Patti - there are too many Patricias and a Patsy and a Patty
I still sign as Patricia however
So it may seem I am Heiti Patricia - but Kallaðr Patti - at least on the USA side of the Whales Bath
Kveðja

"Leifr saw that she ('mundi' = most likely, in all probability) knew
more than just a little." That's to say, she knew a lot; the
implication being that she has supernatural powers.
ókunnu landi "en vér liðfáir."
woman(Z) thus noble/highborn in an unknown land "for we are short of men"
'kunna' + inf. = "to be able to" (Z 10). "L. said that he couldn't
abduct such a well-born woman in a foreign/strange land, 'with us
(being) so short of men / as we are so few in number.'"
