Inger,

I take it you haven't studied the standard Oxford textbook by E.V. Gordon,
An Introduction to Old Norse, with its texts from Iceland, Norway, *Sweden*
and *Denmark*. As for your insistence on using words in the way way they
were used in the Middle Ages, don't be ridiculous. I guess you don't know
this is 2004. Accept it. Don't make an ass of yourself as you just did in
the Dismantling the Da Vinci Code thread.
