ok so who else helped with this submission???  what books did you
get this from???     Alton is correct  Germany is not a county
yet so there are many dialects to work with and choose from.

well I took a year of German at TU and it still is no sufficient to
be usefull.

but your comments have helped, and I thank you Dear Baroness Catrin

Anyone else have a useful comment??  Sigmommie?? *G*
I think I am going to use Altons idea and find a focal point, so
I can shearch for books about that event.
I need to figure out the steps from old norse german, to the
current German used today. (Ja!!  sure)

Timothy of Northkeep.
