Hi Dirk,
You were just to compare the two texts below,
that is all.

>> I saw this by Keth: 

>> GOTLAND text:

You are hard to figure out, Why don't you just look at the texts?
I wrote at length about it, and this is only the first sentence
that Professor Arne Torp has translated to Icelandic.
So the first text is Old Gunish and the second is the same Old Gutnish
text translated to Icelandic. What's the problem?

Cheers
Keth
