So, Fljotsdale, are we going to get well chiden if we call you Riverdale? (Maybe Riffy for short... How does that sound? )

I was here in march (I think) under the name Row Firecam. I posted a bit, then sold my computer and lost my password. Got a new computer, but found out the boards were gone, But found it again about 3 weeks ago and been lurking since then.
It's nice to be back

Oh and I should add that I don't know any old Icelandic either, it's not so diffrent from todays Icelandic except every word can only have one syllable... So to them Dalur was Dalr. I don't know why, maybe the vikings had a split tounge or something

Yeah - according to my OI tutor, it stands in a similar relationship with modern Icelandic as Shakespearean English does to modern English: understandable but a bit obscure at times!
He also said that 'vikings' was not a good name for them, since it only applied when they 'went a'viking' (raiding in ships). The rest of the time they were just mostly farmers and traders - very good, far-travelling traders. And mercenary fighters, too! Multi-talented, in fact!

Okay F, but remember - that which we call a rose would smell as sweet by any other name.
