Edgar !! you are a Scholar yourself -
 
one of the definitions in the  Concise Oxford - is 
A sudent - or a person with an aptitude for study 
that definition is a trifle old fashioned I  think but
if we are Scholars then so are you and you are
most welcome to share with us

Hi
 
Thank you very much.I am just a beginner in Old Norse.
I think all you people must be scholars since you have such massive knowledge.
Thanks again.
