#one day I will properly understand the word fylgja too

[nimblermortal]

Time for another round of synonym clarification! Up for debate this time:

orrusta vs bardagi - both mean battle. What’s the difference? Is this... battle vs skirmish vs brawl?

We’ve talked before about go∂i vs hersir vs hǫf∂ingi, but now there’s forma∂r as well (and I’m assuming that skǫrungr is just leader as in. One who displays leadership qualities.). Help. Is forma∂r the merchant sailor version??

#Old Norse #one day I will properly understand the word fylgja too #this post is intended to update with more questions #I think possibly with various words that are translated as 'overbearing'? #and also the endless stream of apparently synonymous compliments
