Yag har nu opnat en open source ordliste med etymologiske basdata for samskandinavisk under linken "Database" til venster. Det stár frît fram for alle...
Interesting! Also before it you add to many records to this and paint yourself into a corner, maybe you could include Icelandic and proto-germanic in this...
Thank you for your good comments. Proto-Germanic: I would add an additional field immediately if there was room for more than 10 fields. Middle Low German...
... There seems to be a maximum of 10 columns. Not even the Lord of Instrumentality can change that. Apparently, there is nothing a moderator can do to a table...

Seems a pretty logical development of the anglosaxon Futhorc. :) If that had remained the primary alphabet north of the Alps, instead of being replaced by the...
Interesting work. And it is revolutionary in that it is a phonetic rendering of English. Mind you, I am pretty ambivalent about spelling reform for English...
