Talk:hæimʀ

RFV discussion: April–July 2014
Using ʀ for the early Norse reflex of Proto-Germanic z is a modern convention, so it's unlikely that this is attested this way in the original form. I'm not sure in what form the ʀ would be written instead, though. I suspect that this entry actually represents a romanisation of a word that was written in runic originally (which did indeed have a separate letter for ʀ). 13:47, 26 April 2014 (UTC)


 * The exact spelling hæimr occurs in a couple of Old Icelandic (West Norse!) works, e.g. Thómass saga erkibiskups. In Runic, all I can find are inflected and abbreviated forms, e.g. a stone in Folsberga has ᚤᚴ ᛁ ᚦᚬᚾ ᚽᛘ and a stone in Fjuckby has ᚴᚱᛁᚴ᛫᛬ᚼᛅᚡᚾᛁᚱ ᚼᛅᛁᛘᛅ ᛏᚢ; none of those stones vouch for this spelling. We could move the entry to hæimr and drop the claim that it's East Norse. - -sche (discuss) 01:46, 2 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Moved to and removed the East Norse label, per -sche’s comment. Does it need a West Norse or Icelandic label? — Ungoliant (falai) 23:32, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
