Wow, great topic this has turned out to be!
Wolfie, I'm terribly impressed that you read the Seafarer (Hey Yorick, sounds familiar
)!! You are very "snottor on mode" (wise of mind)
I read it too, but then again, I'm a student of English...
BTW Yorick, I think Tuesday comes from Tyr, a Norse/Germanic war god.
Wolfie, yes, if you know Norse/Swedish you can understand a lot of Old English, can't you? Did you know that even a sentence such as "they ate their eggs" (I've said it before in a different thread) is entirely derived from Old Norse?
