Gabaurjaba andnima nih ufarmunno waihtai ragine ainhvatharizuh 
igqara, Iggwimer jal'Llama-Nom, in thizei jah thagk fairhaita 
bajothum! Jabai nu at "gudjon" samafrathjam ei ni guth-blostrja suma

Thanks for your replies, Ingemar and Llama Nom! If we agree about 
*gudjo meaning both "priestess" and "goddess", then, to be 
consistent (as human languages are not always, I remember:), 
shouldn't we suggest *ansunjo instead of *ansuni after ON asynja?

There's one more issue I need to clarify. Recently we all witnessed 
some our posts being delayed before putting on the list, up to 
thirty hours or more I guess. It is some technical problem, right? I 
mean some could have understood it as a sort of censorship... 
Several days ago I got a pm from one of our members who said that he 
was not willing to participate anymore because of "being censored". 
Well, I can think of a good deal of reasons to get censored myself, 
but it's definitely out of question in that person's case. Excuse me 
if this remark is not at home here.
