Gabaurjaba andnima nih ufarmunno waihtai ragine ainhvatharizuh

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.
