Credits:

  • Don Ringe: confirmed that 'uf-brinnan' should be 'sv. III' (Wright lists it as 'wv. I').
  • Cory Strohmier: Corrected þis dagis afar-sabbata to þis dagis afar-sabbatê, and fráuja, wn. to fráuja, wm. (5 Dec 2001). Pointed out errors in the punctuation of ana and háitan (9 Aug 2002).

About the glossary

The glossary is in a mature state of correction and markup. Please report any remaining errors which you find.

In a very few cases, minor corrections were made to what were clearly punctuation errors which existed in the original. Further, the following errors existed in the original but have been corrected in the online text version:

The HTML version is a presentation version derived from the XML version. The XML version is the base document.

10 October 1999: Corrected þaúfsus to þaúrsus. Thanks to Justin Mansfield for pointing out this error.
