I even found a neologism this time! I am not sure what a sent
teleprinter-message through the telephone-line is called in
english, "telefax?". But in this program they have invented a word,
0.58 wordflight "ordflaug".
1.35 Dä handlädä um blommar u fuglar..it was dealing about
flowers
and birds
1.42 Nu vait ja att dä er grasstiarnblomma..Now I know it is gras-
star-flower
..sma veite blommar..small white flowers
..plucktäs u läggdäs i drickä(gotlandic beer)..picked and
put in drink
1.58..dä påstas att russi(compare whalrus-"whalehorse")
kalastä pa
pergrasi tills di bleiv fulle sum kajer..it´s stated that the
horses
feasted on the (untranslateable)gras until they became drunk as (jack)
daws.
Well that´s all for this week!
I hope you enjoyed it.
