Thank you for sharing your knowledge, each new video you post is such a treat. Very informative and interesting but also beautiful. I hope there is many more to come!
Invaluable information, clearly presented as always Dr Crawford ....good to see the runes,too!Looking forward to receiving The Wanderer's Hávamál as an early Christmas present. These videos will be a great resource to go with it...I've been using the online scans of the old Olive Bray translation ,so will be better having your book and notes ,though I love the woodcut-like illustrations in the Bray version.Awesome!👍 Best wishes from the northern wilds of Britain😎
"Be modest -- Don't show off your strengths and claim to be the best. If you do, you'll constantly be running into people who want to be the best by taking you down." And speaking from fool's experience, he's not kidding and it sucks.
I’ve been trying to research Norse mythology but one of the dead ends I keep hitting is the lore on the Aesir god of Glory known as Ullr. There’s just nowhere near enough information about him for me to finish that particular part of my research. Would you please make a video about Ullr? It would really help.
Dr. Crawford has done one on Ullr already, actually (although unfortunately, there really is very little on him): ua-cam.com/video/2q7bbk8bhZc/v-deo.html
@@Kreppa2007 Not what I said. But if you compare what it say in swedish and what it say in old norse so will you see that it is same word order in both.
In the Old Norwegian memorization poems for the runes (where the runes are given their "names") that rune is called by the word maðr in its first line: Maðr er moldar auki; mikil er græip á hauki. (Man is mud given glory; a hawk holds strong.) The rune is often referred to as maðr (man) and is probaly just used as a shorthand. Whether it was done historically or just in these videos I'm not sure.
I'd love to see more about how to archaise norse to replicate what was likely spoken during the actual viking age. That was, reenactors amd wannabes like myself have a good place to start, rather than what some of the internet gurus tend to claim.
I don't know if it's exactly what you're asking for, but Dr. Crawford does have a video on pronunciation of reconstructed Old Norse here: ua-cam.com/video/R_zjXZwD42Q/v-deo.html
#70. Nice and warm inside, dead cold outside. The Dickensian feel of seeing well-stocked shops at Christmas, Christmas Geese and oranges, that the poor cold children can not afford to buy.

nope

why did you write an s rune in verse 76 for hveim er? Shouldn't the r be an r rune?
@JacksonCrawford I would like to know this as well. I suspect it is not a mistake but some archaic way of writing that word.
The number 77 is my favorit and something my dad used to say often but then in Swedish (wich is almost the same as old norse here).
"Almost" is a stretch
@@Kreppa2007 Well not how it sounds but come to the word.
@@arinhjorulfr swedish does have some similar words but i know you can't read and understand one paragraph in hávamál(without help)
@@Kreppa2007 Not what I said. But if you compare what it say in swedish and what it say in old norse so will you see that it is same word order in both.
@@arinhjorulfr why did you have to specify that, in your first comment?
Why do the scribes use ᛘ to replace maðr? Are there other examples of common words replaced with a rune?
In the Old Norwegian memorization poems for the runes (where the runes are given their "names") that rune is called by the word maðr in its first line:
Maðr er moldar auki;
mikil er græip á hauki.
(Man is mud given glory;
a hawk holds strong.)

Check out our very own Dr. Crawford's video on the rune poem here: ua-cam.com/video/Glh_hT2laRo/v-deo.html
Off-topic: where in Colorado was this filmed?

25:37 Ha :D Genghis khan said: Ald biye mine Alder-tugai = Ald size body mine Die -let it be. -ALDRAG means DIE or Get lost in Mongolian.
That's completely different. Aldrig/aldregi in Old Norse means never.
@@SlemtexSlem Undur = high above in Mongolian, Under = low. lol
@@SlemtexSlem sice Undur is high we call snow hail M-undur -is similar to Thunder. cheers vikingars :P
