Him se yldesta andswarode; werodes wisa, wordhord onleac.
"That noblest of men answered him; the leader of the warrior band unlocked his wordhoard."

Thanks to Karma and Rivkah!
One more time I want to thank Karma from Slouching Towards Extimacy and Rivkah from Medieval Manuscripts Online for helping to pick up the slack on the Wordhoard while I was sans good computer access. Karma, why didn't I manage to see you at K'zoo?
I'm sorry to have missed you! A combo of my horrible writing process and your speed-of-light trip through contributed, I imagine. I spent Thursday in my room writing the darned paper for Friday, and I missed you Friday because we had sessions at the same time. Not sure I would have recognized you anyway without the bow tie :-)
On the SCA note you mentioned in your later post - when I was going through security in Flint wearing a Goliard t-shirt, the security guy started a conversation with me. Turns out he used to be in the SCA and knows more about obscure period armor than I will ever know. The folks behind us in line were getting a bit annoyed. They weren't medievalists though, just in a hurry to get to one of Flint's busy (heh) gates or another...
Thanks for the opportunity! I have a better respect for the sifting of miscellanies after that stint:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to do it - it was fun!
