[Steppes] Anglo-Saxon question suggestions

[Richard Culver]

Wihtric hlafard Wihtmunding greets his lord and lady, Duncan and Genevieve, 
crown's thanes of Steppes, and to their folk to whom they are kith!

Okay that might have been excessive, but it leads into the jist of this 
missive.  With 12th Night quickly speeding towards us, I want to touch 
occasionally on the Anglo-Saxon theme of the event.  I am hoping to have an 
overview of life in the hall into Lady Elec by tonight or tomorrow, but I have 
on occasion been asked a range of easy to involved questions on Anglo-Saxon 
things.  I would love to put out a "This is the Anglo-Saxons" article but to be 
frank, it is time consuming and, for the purposes of those who want to find ways 
to add to the theme, might not hit on specific questions. 

 I am quite capable of just typing a litany, but rather instead I would ask 
this:  If you have questions, especially ones you think other would like to 
know, please send them to me.  In turn I will try to answer as best I can and 
post the info in a location where everyone can access it whether it be in the 
Steppes Letter, the new forums, both or elsewhere.  I do better with specific 
questions versus trying to thinking up what might be interesting, which for me 
might be far from readable for anyone else.

Some examples of what I can help answer would be break down of the period, runes 
(geared toward the linguistic usage) and orthography, language, finding links on 
garb and other archaeology, and so forth.  what I do not know, I can quickly 
find.  I am by no means an expert on everything listed, but eager to help.
