Ok, so I can use the one i prefer, then?
Thanks a lot for your help. This matter has been bothering me for a little while now :)

For Hrafn:
Det er godt å høre at du ikke har problemer med nynorsken. Min erfaring er dessverre at dansker ikke skjønner noe som helst av det^^
Det er faktisk også overraskende mange bokmålsbrukere som sier de ikke forstår nynorsk. Jeg for min del er svært glad i språket, selvom jeg bor i Oslo.

They are two different scholarly conventions for
representing the same Old West Scandinavian phoneme. (The
actual manuscripts use a variety of spellings.)
