Shownotes

In today's episode we take a closer look at my translation of chapter 5 of Eirík the Red's Saga and we learn about yet another popular saying from the Viking age, namely, "At eigi veit, fyrr en svarat er."

Listen to find out what that Norse expression meant plus so much more, including what some of the differences are between this chapter and the same scene from the Saga of the Greenlanders.

Old Norse words discussed in today's episode include:

  1. LÝKR (from LÚKA)
  2. VÉR
  3. FEÐGUM
