    I'm getting an idea of the challenges translators had when translating ancient languages such as ancient Hebrew. The people who would know about the languages are long dead so I can see where it was best guess.

    One thing that always erked me about ASoIaF: GRRM goes as far as refer to Westerosi crocodillians as "lizard-lions". That, despite Valyrian and Dornish, Westron has been unaffected by a analog of Latin. But a moose is still called a moose. _Moos._ An Abenaki word.

    These deities/ figures aren't exactly the same but I think they're similar enough to warrant a comparison. The relationship between Freyja and Odr, I think, is akin to Aphrodite/Venus and Adonis. Odr, in this case, is closer to 'Passionate' than it is to 'mad/insane'. Odr leaves on adventures , Freyja weeps for his absence. Adonis has to leave Aphrodite for Persephone in some versions, leaving her to, presumably, grieve his absence.

    @@Gandalf_the_Black_ I think nasal + homorganic fricative usually ends up sounding like nasal + homorganic affricate, just because you have the closure from the nasal and release from the fricative. Prob not phonemic, prob very subtle? Of course /poin?/ already has a stop, but I think the /?/ gets elided before the /s/, maybe? As always I am talking out of my a*s but the a*s has instincts

    The rapture is not canon. To be reunited with their bodies will not happen and has never been declared in any of Christ’s teachings. But this nitpicking aside, it is awesome to listen to you two. The old faith is so exciting, and Tolkien made it into a modern tale of myth, philosophy, psychology, folklore, and real life teachings. Thank you

    This is cool. Similar in a number of respects to OE manuscript abbreviations.

  • @Thrym865
    @Thrym865Күн бұрын

    The common abbreviations in Danish manuscripts up to around 1600 (or 1700) are these: Apostrophe instead of 'er' or 're' (also 'ir' and 'ri') - most commonly used instead of 'er'. Lower case Z (looks like the number 3) instead of 'et' or 'eth' (in modern spelling also instead of 'ed'). A sign that I can't really describe instead of 'is' (in modern spelling also instead of 'es') - only used in the end of a word. In printed books, this sign apparently becomes an apostrophe. An example I have seen is 'vilfarend' faar' (vildfarendes faar) - sheep that have been led astray. In manuscripts, also the names Laur' (Lauris/Lauritz) - Lawrence or Laurentius. And Mor' (Moris/Mouritz/Mauritz) - Morris, Maurice or Mauritius. A horizontal line above a letter means that an N or an M has been left out - and that N or M has to go directly after the letter with the line above it. So the name 'Christen' or 'Chresten' could be spelled Ch'ste with a horizontal line above the E. The word 'der' (there) could be spelled d'. The word 'det' (that) could be spelled 'dz'. The word 'med' (with) could be spelled 'mz'. Those are the simple ones, but there are many more. Especially if it's written in Latin.
