Bad at NamesSimmering goulash on the stove, Winter Storm Blair lurking in the western dark, and here I am with Irish whiskey and The 13th Warrior in my fortunate place.I’ve started reading the book, which is the main Crichton book I never read 30 years ago. I know Crichton got mainstream success and lost his mind, but still. This is on my list of movies to see in theaters if I ever achieve time travel.<a href="https://c.im/tags/Blair2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blair2025</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/13thWarrior" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#13thWarrior</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Vikings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vikings</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Beowulf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Beowulf</a>

Óli Gneisti (English)The opening lines of Beowulf look familiar to Icelanders who know a little bit about their language.> Hwæt we Gardena in geardagum, þeodcyninga ...A quick and dirty translation to Icelandic would be:> Hvað við Geir-Danir í gærdögum, þjóðkonunga ...Geir isn't much used in modern Icelandic, in its original sense, but it means spear. We do have the word "geirvarta" which is literally "spearwart" but actually means nipple.I should stress that "gærdögum" isn't strictly a word in Icelandic but it is transparent as meaning "the past"."Þjóð" usually means "nation" in modern Icelandic but can also be "people" or "group".Of course I stop at "þeodcyninga" because then the translation gets significantly more difficult.<a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Beowulf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Beowulf</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/OldEnglish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OldEnglish</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Icelandic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Icelandic</a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/OldNorse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OldNorse</a>

Bevan Thomas"Ere long then from hottest hatred must sword-wrath arise....
