Stanza 18: there is a typo as presented in the writing on screen, where you see incorrect "vegask," though I read it and discuss it out loud correctly as "vegisk."

“Fite me bro.” - Expensive vellum manuscript.

'come at me bench decorator' ouch. awaiting the next installment with bated breath.

[@Zippythewondersquirrel]

Thank you for your amazingly concise translations and the explanations of what we are actually hearing. I seem to grow to like Loki more and more for his chutzpah.😄

Was looking for something to listen to while I work, this came as a blessing

[@alanikeiser]

Haha bench warmer. Bench decorator. This was so good 😁

[@heythereanxiouskid8305]

this series is so good, i know it’s quite a specific topic but you deserve much more views. i thought i would just listen to it as a podcast but i actually watched the whole video. it’s so fun (and satisfying) starting to understand some lines and phrases (from learning icelandic)

[@uyamuya1343]

This has been great! I got your translation of the poetic edda for Christmas and I've been enjoying it thoroughly

[@agw.1723]

Thanks for the up-load

[@myNamesTakin]

Wow I didn't realize how rusty I am with my languages. Truly takes practice...

[@mnels5214]

thanks for posting, so cool

[@JackTheBlackcat0]

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Loki: "Have you heard that some of our goddeses are whores and some gods are pussyboys?" As always great video dr. Crawford!

[@myvikingmom6218]

thank you!

[@sleepywoodelf]

How reliable do you find the things Loki says in this poem? I'm always a little skeptical of the things people say in arguments in Old Norse literature. Is it reasonable to think that every god is an effeminate coward and every goddess a whore?

[@austinknighton5319]

Norse languages sounds like a phonetic mishmash of Spanish, English, and a language where the letter F is very important.

[@jwsmith1470]

@Austin Knighton Now that you mention it... I think the further we go back in time with most European languages, the closer they all get to their common linguistic roots & precursors (including Proto-Indo-European)... and thus they would likely sound kinda similar (at least phonetically, anyway).

Þegi þú, Þegi þú. Pretty pretty pretty pretty Þegi þú.

For some reason your audio is too low I have to crank everything to the max to listen to your videos is it just me ???

He had a microphone but the magpies stole it.

[@jessiehermit9503]

Just you.

[@paulaunger3061]

No way! Still end cards all over the place! (Although I could see you tip your hat quite clearly, so not entirely the end of the world....)
