Content

As I mentioned in our last scheduled livechat on Thursday (a good time, by the way--thank you to those who participated), I'm thinking of changing the name of my interconnected video series that so far have included Studying Hávamál in Old Norse, Studying Vǫluspá in Old Norse, and Studying Grímnismál in Old Norse. I think "Studying" just isn't communicating what each one of these videos is, which is a detailed look at the stanzas of each poem, stanza-by-stanza and word-by-word, explaining what they say in Old Norse.

Below I've put my top contenders for replacement titles, together with a fifth option for you to share other ideas (feel free to "vote" if there's a comment with a suggestion you like, by liking the comment). You are the intended audience for these, so I ask you: What title would most accurately communicate to you, if you had never before seen my videos, what the content actually was? As an example in the poll, I'm using the title of the first video in the Hávamál series, which covered stanzas 1-23. Keep in mind that the title can't be any longer than my fourth suggestion, or no one will see the whole title in a suggested video pane.

Thank you all for your support on Patreon, and all the best for now from beautiful Colorado.

I voted for "Analysis..." because it was the one that made clear the most that it is not just about reading the text in Old Norse, but also discussing it.

"Hávamál 1-23, detailed reading" If word-by-word. "Hávamál 1-23, analysis" If background is emphasized.
