The Puzzler Posted April 1, 2015 #6001 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Sandbach translated KÀMPA (German kämpfen - to fight) as contend Does that word order even make sense? Alom en allerwege zullen list en bedrog ('afgodsbedrijf'?) met vrijheid en recht kampen. Everywhere craft and deception shall contend with freedom and justice The message is the same but you don't have to change any word order for it to make sense in my example - exactly as the Fryans wrote and said it. All and everywhere shall(skil) deceit(lest) and the Lord(drochten) be-drive(bedrif) with freedom, struggle(kampa) and right ALOM ÀND ALLERWÉIKES SKIL LEST ÀND DROCHTEN BIDRÍF WITH FRYHÉD KÀMPA ÀND RJUCHT but I won't get any more pedantic over it tonight.

Ott Posted April 2, 2015 #6003 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Just some notes. The common word for child (both singular and plural) in OLB is BÀRN or BERN. (See blog post.) This word is still used in N-European languages: barn (child, children) - norse, swedish, danish (plur. børn), icelandic (plur. börn) bern (child, children) - frisian But in one fragment the word KINDAR (children - German Kinder, Dutch kinderen) is used twice. [126/29] Ljudgért N.AST MIN KINDAR NAVT SJAN [...] THA.K SINA KINDAR WÉI.BROCH HÀV Have you not seen my children? [...] because I have lost his children In one fragment KINDLIK (kindly) is used: [120/31] Ljudgért AFTERNÉI KÉMER TO HIM. SÉR KINDLIK SNAKKANDE* Later he came to him, speaking* very kindly (* Note: snakke still means to talk in Norse. The word got lost in this meaning in Dutch and Frisian.)

Ott Posted April 2, 2015 #6004 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Lord(drochten) be-drive(bedrif) In the OLB, "DROCHTEN" mostly means idol, false god (as is clear from context). In very few ocasions it refers to Wralda, but in the discussed sentence it's pretty obvious that (practice of) idols/ false gods is meant. How do you interpret "be-drive"?

In very few ocasions it refers to Wralda, but in the discussed sentence it's pretty obvious that (practice of) idols/ false gods is meant. How do you interpret "be-drive"? I took into consideration very much what you said and contemplated them being God perpetrators - however I do think my translation is as valid using bedrive in the German context I have in the word order I used. drochten I think can be used as a term for idolatry. From Middle English bidriven, from Old English bedrīfan (“to drive; beat; strike; assail; follow up; pursue; surround; cover”), equivalent to be- + drive. Cognate with Dutch bedrijven (“to commit, perpetrate”), German betreiben (“to operate, conduct, pursue”), Swedish bedriva (“to manage, carry on, prosecute”). http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bedrive 'operate' could even equate to 'carry on' which might sound better.

SÉR KINDLIK SNAKKANDE* Later he came to him, speaking* very kindly (* Note: snakke still means to talk in Norse. The word got lost in this meaning in Dutch and Frisian.) These words have always fascinated me. I once thought that child was a literal translation of kinder but it's not. kinder means 'cheek' and 'chin' as does kind - both meaning touching of the cheek=kindness, tenderness, soft touch of baby or child became 'child'. English child comes from: child (n.) Old English cild "fetus, infant, unborn or newly born person," from Proto-Germanic *kiltham (cognates: Gothic kilþei "womb," inkilþo "pregnant;" Danish kuld "children of the same marriage;" Old Swedish kulder "litter;" Old English cildhama "womb," lit. "child-home"); no certain cognates outside Germanic. Ljudgert' might just be using a more common term for child, which is kindar,(than bern variants) in his place and time.

The Puzzler Posted April 3, 2015 #6008 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) In another fragment, it is suggested that the Finns, who arrived in what is now Finland together with the Magyars, were also of Finda's people: [045/24] from introduction to the alphabet page VNDER HIRA TID HETH FINDA AK EN SKRIFT UTFVNDEN. MEN THAT WÉRE SA HÁGFÁRANDE ÀND FVL MITH FRISLA ÀND KROLUM THAT THA ÀFTERKVMANDA THÉROF THJU BITJVDNESE RING VRLÉREN HÀVE. ÀFTERNÉI HÀVON HJA VS SKRIFT LÉRED BINOMA THA FINNA. THA THYRJAR ÀND THA KRÉKA.LANDAR. Sandbach p.65 In her time Finda also invented a mode of writing, but that was so high-flown and full of flourishes that her descendants have soon lost the meaning of it. Afterwards they learned our writing— that is, the Finns, the Thyriers, and the Krekalanders One could believe that the ancient Finns were somewhat 'Asian', but to suppose the Tyrians (now Libanon) and Greeks were as well, makes no sense. They were more probably east-Mediterranean. Not black, not white, but somewhere in between; what Frya's people might have called GÉL ('yellow' or light brown). Yes. Not very white like Frya, nor black like Lyda, but middle - the yellower, browner, brown hair people. Coffee coloured. "Making coffee-coloured people by the score" as the song goes. Kashmir at the time spoken about, would have had a lot of population that wasn't all that Asiatic stereotypical looking imo - looking at a map, it's smack bang in the middle of Findasland - which I interpret as basically all the land east of Europe. Occasionally in Middle English used of a color closer to blue-gray or gray, of frogs or hazel eyes, and to translate Latin caeruleus, glauco. Also as a noun in Old English. Meaning "light-skinned" (of blacks) first recorded 1808. Applied to Asiatics since 1787, though the first recorded reference is to Turkish words for inhabitants of India. http://www.etymonlin...searchmode=none White is like this, white started from the term of 'not being dark'. Its the incomers, who blended into Europeans, imo, who bought in cattle, had copper axes and wooden weapons, shamans, Gods and all the rest - its people who lived from eastern Russia, through southern Mongolia, to the whole area of the Hindu Kush - but not necessarily just Chinese type Asian - so I agree. Persians were 'Asiatics' in their day - everyone from the continent of Asia Minor and Asia. Those that descend from Greeks have brown eyes. Olive skin could be construed as gel, it has a yellow tinge and its not white or black - but I do think it also means those who are pale skinned to an extent, such as Scythians, but they are termed gel, since they also are of an 'Asiatic yellow skin' type - simply not as fair as Fryans. Scythians obviously had an important priestly class and some of the most bloody and grotesque sacrifices of all - I can't see then NOT being included in a group who was Finda's folk. I think there's also a connection of those who came to Babylon from the East, from the Bible. Some group of people have come from the east in these stories and have had a profound impact on everything but its hard to place the finger on the exact circumstances. Its possible the OLB is telling us that all these people radiated out of the areas of Kashmir and Hindu Kush - which is not all that wrong from what genetics is now telling us - many common European lineages came into Europe, fairly recently, from the East.

Passing Time Posted April 4, 2015 #6012 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Back to the GEL Yellow.....Poss Gelt (Kelt ) connection......it has taken some time to find it again , but i was only reading this link yesterday..... http://www.historyfiles.co.uk/FeaturesEurope/BarbarianCelts02.htm Celts were also known as Gaul, Caltoi , Keltoi , Galat, Galad, Wahl and Wal........a poss root word for Celt and Galad comes from Ghladh , Ghel which means bright, brilliant, shining ......there are also l-, u-, or n-, stems such as ghela , ghle ghlo , ghla , all mean to shine , glare , glow , or golden, yellow or other bright colours (white ?)so Kelts could be the shining ones (like those in Sumer , Mesop ) another possibility is that Keltoi and Galat came to a place where there was no K or G , so they were called Welte or Velte , Valde or Walde ( interesting nearly wralda) which means great , exceedingly , intensely , strong , powerful Walens or Valens means Strong , Powerful , healthy , able , worthwhile , Waleo or Valeo means To be strong , or to have power . Walidus or Validus means strong , mighty , powerful........and therefore the Welsh , Wahla and Walish , Valha(Valhala ?) and Val could previously been Gahla or Galish etc. theory goes that Celt and Galad led on/from to names like Caledon-iam ,Celidon, Kaleti , Galeti , and Galatians , Galicians etc aparently it was the Germans who used Walha for the Welsh and it has been thought it meant foreigner , but could be just because they did not use K/G , it is not thought to mean foreigner as the Germans did not call the Fins or Magi Wahla or wal even though they were foreigners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Puzzler Posted April 5, 2015 #6015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 just a guess...........BEDRIV........BE IT RIFE ???? rife as in common , widespread , universal , should deceit and idolatry be it( become ) rife ??? Sounds quite good - but I can't make it that because of the D in the word - BE-DRIV or BED-RIV. Jan might know if it works better. Personally if its in the Frisian dictionary I think its generally the word that shows: bidrīva* 1, bi-drī-v-a*, afries., st. V. (1): nhd. ausrichten, erreichen, zum Gehorsam bringen; ne. straighten, succeed, make (V.) obey; Hw.: vgl. ae. bedrīfan; E.: s. bi-, drī-v-a; L.: Hh 137a, Hh 184, Rh 633a basically deceit and idoloarty will "succeed/drive along side" justice and right is how I read the sentence, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Puzzler Posted April 5, 2015 #6018 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Tha Dêmêtrius fornom, thaet Friso to honk wêre, sand-i en bodja to him segsande, thaet hi sina bern to him nomen hêde wmbe ra to fora to-n hâge stât vmbe to lânja him to fâra sina thjanesta. When Demetrius heard that Friso had come home, he sent messengers to him to say that he had taken his children to raise them to high rank, and to reward him for his services. Dutch Etymology From Middle Dutch honc, likely through Old Dutch from Proto-Germanic *hank-, *hunk-. Only has cognates in the Frisian languages. Possibly related to haak (“hook”) and hoek (“corner”). honk n (plural honken, diminutive honkje n) (somewhat rare) home, place where one belongs, shelter http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/honk I could see it relative to a concept like "wherever I hang my hat, that's my home" or your 'hang-out'.
