Here's this week's Old Norse vocabulary for Patreon, with the nouns "assigned" in part 2 of the new Old Norse lessons on Patreon. By the way, I missed some of the runic text in last week's Patreon Vocabulary video, but I filled in the missing vocabulary in a pinned comment on that video and on the Patreon post accompanying it.

I'm busier than ever, and about as warm as I can stand to be this long summer. I hope you're all doing well out there, and that you know I appreciate your kind generosity supporting my channel and all my other public education efforts.

All the best for now,

Jackson Crawford

Patreon Vocabulary 24: From Old Norse lesson 2

My wife and I are really enjoying your "Old Norse Class" series so far. We're wondering if you can recommend any audiobooks where Old Norse passages are spoken in a medieval Old Norse pronunciation that matches what you're teaching us in these videos? It would seem useful for immersion and just picking up the cadence and flow and pronunciation? I know your Wanderer's Havamal includes Old Norse for every stanza, but it's not yet available in an audiobook format.

I don't know of any audiobooks that use the reconstructed medieval ON pronunciation, but Dr. Crawford does have a playlist called "The Poetic Edda in Old Norse" where he reads a number of poems from the Poetic Edda in Old Norse, along with explanation of the stanzas in English: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLATNGYBQ-Tjp2rLtaIKzrMFcWGComaiVN He's also done a complete reading of the Hávamál in Old Norse on its own (the version in the playlist has analysis and commentary, whereas this is just a straight readthrough in ON): https://youtu.be/K3c9QMCFutA

Thanks for going over this vocabulary. It really helps. (I wasn’t making good progress trying to use A New Introduction To Old Norse.) So this whole series is great.

I'm glad to hear that! I think some of the difference is just the format; it's a little easier to make these semi-modular lessons one by one (and be kind of responsive, though slowly, to feedback about them as I go) than to post one big book that's supposed to contain everything that everybody (of a lot of different skill levels) needs.
