[Ansteorra] Pronunciation was Re: "Ansteorran: of or pertaining to the Kingdom of Ansteorra"

Herr Detlef,

If you don't mind a friendly suggestion, why don't you teach your Old English class at King's College in June. I know I would be one of the first to sign up for the class. My Old and Middle English are very rusty (studied in college a long time ago - English major).

YIS,

Caitilin inghean Ronan ui Chellaigh

I gave a class at King's College in 2008 about spelling and pronunciation in
Old English. I should dust my notes off and do that one again. That was a
lot of fun, and I don't get to teach Old English every day.

P&B,
