It looks as if I'm going to have to be explicit about this. The three
examples above all share a linking of two known but unconnected historical
facts via an unknown source. In the case of "Ora Mensura" the source is
named but untraceable, and the facts it links (Phoenician trade and Irish
voyages to Iceland in the early Middle Ages) could not possibly be linked
by the said source (because it was allegedly written half a millennium
before the Irish voyages occurred).

Assuming that Inger is not indulging in a 7-year hoax, it must be assumed
that she genuinely believes in the links between all these pairs of facts
(and many more) due to a memory associative disorder. Having made the
links, via some simple key concept ("voyages to the North", or "tithes" or
"geography of Vinland"; not to mention "primary = prime") her brain is then
filling in a background of sources which she "remembers" very clearly, but
can never actually find. When challenged on these sources, her brain will
do anything to prevent her from accepting the truth, hence the variety of
deceits and delaying tactics, the privately-emailed irrelevancies etc.

If I'm right in this conclusion, I would ask anybody who knows anybody who
has connnections to Inger in the real world- please check whether this
situation is being dealt with, because it is likely to cause problems with
other aspects of her life in the long term.
