I love the idea of Loki being *canonically* quoted as saying, "Shuteth thee up, o' Odin!"

[@takingbackthehammer6527]

Thank you Dr.Crawford, your videos help with my sanity during the pandemic, and my cat comes running every time I put one on haha

[@henrikgustafsson6198]

Many thanks for doing this readings of Lokasenna; one of the most entertaining and interesting of the eddic poems. 🙌

[@mnels5214]

I'm really enjoying the Lokasenna translation, thanks for posting!

[@Barbarossa19]

Dr. Crawford, where are you in this video? I'm a Front Range resident and love the endless skies. 🧙‍♂️

[@CandyCarbonnier]

I would love to know what drew Dr. Crawford to this area of study- I am sure it is a fascinating journey!

[@paganbanjo]

I think he has a video on it. Mainly it was an interest in language and how language evolves through time.

[@paulhood7316]

IIRC I believe it all started with Dr. Crawford being " a dinosaur kid"

[@bluedogguy]

outstanding video!

Does anyone know if Dr. Jackson Crawford Has made a video touching on whether or not the field of old north linguistics is flooded? I’m genuinely curious if there is a demand for it in any shape or form.

[@getrealroleplaying7427]

As far as I remember he has said that good jobs in the formal academic field are extremely scarce.

[@shekhawat5917]

Intresting loka in sanskirt means a place (i.e the devas(gods) live in devaloka) and senna means army

[@jockjammer3443]

very interestinf

[@adultswithoverexcitabiliti3367]

Could vett be more like the modern, meaning something like ‘common sense’ or ‘wit’? Then it might mean something like ‘striking away wit’ or ‘abandoning reason’? I’m curious now lolll.

[@adultswithoverexcitabiliti3367]

Or from ‘dróttkvætt’ - courtly metre- which means Odin ‘struck a metre’? Perhaps a poetic chant?

[@mickepuronen5079]

hi have you examined elfdalian? it is an almost forgotten language in Sweden, do they sound a bit Icelandic ?, are they related? , only 3000 speak elfdalian. and they used runes in the 1800s, they claim. it is a language I am interested in learning. I'm pasting a quote. Men aindjeln saggð di diem: Warið it skerner! Ig kumb min buoð að ið at ið ulið war sturglaðir, ollt fuok ul werd glaðir.

[@dadianbao257]

Spændende; men jeg kommer nok til at øve mig lidt mere på oldnordisk.
