-Hej Lars,

Thanks for your encouraging  mail. Yes, now I think that long files 
and pictures will be a less  problem as well as breaks in 
connection. I am presently not home but in Göteborg, so the new 
connection must wait untill monday to be properly installed. I am 
using my sons computer now. Yes, you will find a lot of things 
including werewolfs and other wolfs connected with fertility. Not  
at least the ylfings of the Helgikviðae. What lauk concerns the 
Germans don't say Weisslauch but Knoblauch and hence your 
interpretation might be possible. I would have to consult my 
etymological wordbook which I have not at hand here. Good luck with 
your reading and don't hesitate to mail me off line anytime you 
discover something that you do not catch or if you have an opinion 
of kind that may improve the text. I am all the time correcting 
faults that I come across when translating it into English. I have 
finished 50 pages now.

Med venlig hilsen
Ingemar
