Hi listmembers!
In my rush to finish this before going away to some friends, I forgot 
to add the link. Sorry about that! So here it is once again.

I even found a neologism this time! I am not sure what a sent
teleprinter-message through the telephone-line is called in
english, "(tele-)fax". But in this program they have invented a word,
0.58 ordflaug "wordflight".
 
1.35 Dä handlädä um blommar u fuglar..it was dealing about
flowers
and birds
1.42 Nu vait ja att dä er grasstiernblomma..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
horse(s)
feasted on the (untranslateable)grass until they became drunk as 
(jack)daws.

 
Well that´s all for this week!
I hope you enjoyed it.
