Small question but how did the Norse pronounce Alfr (Álfar)? I always read it as Ai-far but modern Icelanders apparently pronounce it as Out-vas

In Old Icelandic, alfr was pronounced something like "AHLV-r" (IPA /ɑlvr/) with a trilled "r." It was probably pronounced as close to a single syllable as one can possibly say that. If we were to go back into Viking-era language we'd have to have a discussion about /ʀ/ and that's a whole can of woʀms, but the above works for that time period as well other than the final -ʀ.

The vowel was lengthened on the way into Modern Icelandic, as it was in other words like ulfr > úlfur 'wolf' and mjǫlk > mjólk 'milk.' it's pronounced "OWL-vurr" /ˈaul.vʏr/. When that lengthening happened -- quite early in the development of Icelandic, when we might still include it under the umbrella of "Old Norse," that vowel á would have been pronounced like (using English orthography) "aw" (/ɔ/) rather than "ow" /au/.

The letter "f" is always voiced (pronounced like "v") in the middle of words, except in certain specific circumstances like coming before certain consonants. If it's a "v" in Swedish (älva), Danish (elv), Norwegian (alv, elv), and/or Faroese (álvur), it was pronounced like a "v" in Old Icelandic. The actual letter "v" wasn't distinguished from "u" at the time, and when we write words from that time period using "v", it's pronounced "w" (e.g. Valhǫll "WAHL-hawl").

Proto-Norse and Modern Icelandic both had some kind of final devoicing so it's almost certain that Old Icelandic did as well. This is like in German, how you pronounce Hund 'dog' "hoont" with the "d" devoiced into a "t," but the plural is Hunde "HOON-duh."

In Modern Icelandic, it doesn't happen on the level of the individual word but rather on the whole sentence. So if you say a word like Sif it's normally pronounced "Siv," though if it's the last thing you say in a sentence it might come out more like what an English-speaker expects ("Siff"). In those cases, at the end of an utterance, alfr probably also had an "f" sound rather than a "v" sound, picking up that devoicing from the following "r."

Mikilvægasta máltíðin

Morgunmaturinn minn þennan mánuðinn (reyndar eins og venjulega) er auðveldi hafragrauturinn gerður í einni skál:

Tröllahafrar settir í skál

Döðlur með (ég kaupi alltaf niðurskornar því það er minna vesen) og chiafræ t.d.

Hella yfir smá sjóðandi vatni (fyrir heitan graut)...

... eða kaldri haframjólk...

... eða súkkulaði-haframjólk fyrir sparigraut (oatly er best) 

Láta standa smá stund

Hræra grautinn og raða ofan á - (bætið við því sem ykkur finnst gott eða bara það sem er til í ísskápnum):

Klassískt: Skornir bananar (passa með öllu)

Vetrar: Epli og kanill

Sumar: Bláber, jarðarber, hindber, plómur, ferskjur...

Saðsamt & prótínríkt: hnetusmjör, möndlusmjör, chiafræ

Laugardags: Hlynsýróp

Fyrir Instagram: möndluflögur, hafrarjómi yfir

Það besta við þennan graut er að hann er fljótgerður, sparar uppvask (ein skál að þvo) og svo er þetta bara alltaf gott. Grófir hafrar sem hafa ekki verið soðnir í mauk eru mjög góð orka út í daginn; járnríkir og fullir af trefjum.

Að sjálfsögðu má skipta út haframjólk fyrir venjulega mjólk fyrir þá sem vilja vera á spenanum!

JóiPé and Króli - Hvar er ég núna (Where Am I Now) - transcript/translation

Second JóiPé and Króli request from anon, this time a song that seems to be about depression.

Icelandic transcript

Hvar er ég núna? Að detta út af Mínúturnar virðast vera löngu búnar Hvar er ég núna? Að detta út af Stend einn, neita höfðinu að lúta, æ

Sporið hvarf fyrir svolitu síðan Missti í gær allt vitið og svo líðan Mun samt halda ótrauður áfram, ekki tala um þetta nánar Ást það eina sem ég á Hlandvolg mjólk í skálinni og svo skófar Þrái bara ekka, frið og lófa Venjum og siðum kastað út um gluggann Á harðaharðaspretti frá mínum eigin skugga

Hvar er ég, hvar stend ég, hvert er ég að fara? Þreyttur og þungur og bara alveg sama Loka mig inni, kem engu út úr munni Draumur sem ég ekki þekki, æ Tók það í mínar einu tvær hendur Eiginlega nenni engu lengur Ég vil bara vera einn með sjálfum mér Með engan ofan á mér Bara hausinn minn og ég

Ég er þreyttur en ég sef samt nóg Tilfinningin gölluð en samt alltaf frekar tóm Hugsa um svarið og það er þvílík furða því ég er einn með sjálfum mér og það er enginn að spyrja

Ú, ay, hvað er planið? Ay, hausinn útþaninn? Ay, hvað er planið? Ay, hausinn útþaninn?

Hvar er ég núna? Að detta út af Mínúturnar virðast vera löngu búnar Hvar er ég núna? Að detta út af Stend einn, neita höfðinu að lúta Hvar er ég núna? Að detta út af Mínúturnar virðast vera löngu búnar Hvar er ég núna? Að detta út af Stend einn, neita höfðinu að lúta

Hvar er ég núna? Að detta út af Mínúturnar virðast vera löngu búnar Hvar er ég núna? Að detta út af Stend einn, neita höfðinu að lúta

Transcription notes

This song is quite slurred; I found lyrics on Google and used those as a reference, but I'm not sure where those are sourced from, so I cannot entirely vouch for all of this.

English translation

Where am I now? Falling asleep The minutes seem long over Where am I now? Falling asleep Standing alone, refusing to bow my head, oh

The tracks disappeared a little while ago Yesterday I lost my mind and then how I was feeling I'll still keep on trucking, not get any further into it Love is the only thing I have Piss-warm milk in the bowl and a shoeprint Just crave sobbing, peace and a palm Traditions and habits thrown out the window Sprinting hard away from my own shadow

Where am I, where do I stand, where am I going? Tired and heavy and just don't care Lock myself inside, can't get words out An unfamiliar dream, oh I took matters into my own two hands Kind of can't be bothered with anything anymore I want to just be alone with my own thoughts With no one on top of me Just my head and I

I'm tired but I still sleep enough The feeling's faulty but still always pretty empty Thinking about the answer and that's such a wonder because I'm alone by myself and no one is asking

Ooh, ay, what's the plan? Ay, head bulging? Ay, what's the plan? Ay, head bulging?

Where am I now? Falling asleep The minutes seem long over Where am I now? Falling asleep Standing alone, refusing to bow my head Where am I now? Falling asleep The minutes seem long over Where am I now? Falling asleep Standing alone, refusing to bow my head

Where am I now? Falling asleep The minutes seem long over Where am I now? Falling asleep Standing alone, refusing to bow my head

Translation notes

The "Just crave sobbing, peace and a palm" is the hand kind of palm, presumably a masturbation reference.

"Á harðaspretti" means to be sprinting, literally "on a hard sprint". The lyric has "Á harðaharðaspretti", i.e. repeating the prefix to intensify it further, which is sometimes done. I just made it "Sprinting hard" because you can't quite do the same thing in English.

rune request: Waywardtravelerfart

@waywardtravelerfart requested “When lost, send to Folkvangr” in Viking age Old West Norse and matching runes. A literal translation is something like: “Es villt/vill(r), sendu/sendið til Folkvangs.” I’ll go with sendið, which is both plural and polite to an individual. To be more idiomatic it might be appropriate to say þegar villt vega, literally ‘when lost (pertaining to) roads/ways’ as is used in Hávamál 47. The word es/er is very multifunctional; in modern language one would prefer þegar but that’s not really appropriate for Old Norse. Normally when translating to Norse we would probably not want to used this sort of clipped syntax lacking a subject (one would likely expect something more like ‘when it/he/she is lost‘) but it’s not unusual for a runic inscription (e.g. hmar is ‘is a hammer’ not ‘it is a hammer’).

The adjective villr has to be inflected for gender. I’ll use neuter in the runes but if we’re talking about a person who does use he or she then it should be switched this way:

masculine: villr uilr

feminine: vill uil

neuter: vilt uilt

The word which appears as senda in Icelandic literature comes from PGmc. *sandijan, meaning the e arouse by i-umlaut of *a. That means that in the Viking age, it was still something we should rather write as sænda or sęnda or even sända, the latter being precisely what it still is in Swedish. Therefore we will use one of the “a”-runes, but since it comes before the letter n we will use ą, known previously as *ansuz and later as óss.

One additional note that is inconsequential for writing this in runes, but some people might find themselves wondering. The word Folkvangr also appears written Fólkvangr with a long “ó.” The difference here is one of time. The Old Norse word was folk when it first began to be written, but changed to fólk over time. This is a regular sound change that affected a lot of words with a vowel followed by l, for example halfr > hálfr ‘half’ and mjǫlk > mjólk ‘milk.’

‘When lost, send to Folkvangr’ Es villt, sendið til Folkvangs is : uilt : sątiþ : til : fulkuąks

Waywardtravelerfart commented wondering what I thought would qualify a person for an afterlife in Folkvangr rather than Valhöll. To me it seems that the thoughts informing the mention in Grímnismál, which Snorri then quoted without adding anything useful for this question, seems to me to assume the same qualifications as Valhöll. Contrary to what a lot of heathens say, I don’t think the text permits us to interpret that Freyja gets a “first pick” over Óðinn, just that she gets half of the battle-slain (I suppose the theory is that the word kýss ‘choose’ implies that Freyja has preference over Óðinn, but I don’t think that’s correct, though I also don’t think this means that Óðinn has preference either). Though it doesn’t answer the question here is an interesting paper on the subject that I really enjoy for its innovative use of Nafnaþulur as evidence: https://www.academia.edu/1825953/The_Ship_in_the_Field
