Hi again, Mr. Cornwell. With regard to my previous question below, how about old English? ‘Hi Mr. Cornwell. What would “Serpent-Breath” and “Wasp-Sting” be in Old Norse, and how would they be pronounced? Alan Kempner’

Happy New Year, Mr. Cornwell. Last month, I asked you what the name’s of Uhtred’s weapons would be in Old Norse, and you said you didn’t know. Here’s what I have been able to find out: In modern Norwegian, which as far as I can tell, is not that different from how the Vikings spoke, Serpent-Breath would be “Orm-Pust” and Wasp Sting would be “Geithom-Stikke.” Alan Kempner
