Mentionings
WT:CFI: "the community of editors for that language should maintain a list of materials deemed appropriate as the only sources for entries based on a single mention"

So how about adding the sources below to that list which can be found at WT:About Norn (the page doesn't exist, which means there currently is no entry in that list)? George Low has a short word list (ca. 30 words), and it's printed in the two books. However, the two books sometimes have different spellings and not only because one (from 1808) uses long s and the other (from 1879) doesn't, e.g. the older one has "The sea, Sheng.", "A shoe, Scugin." and the younger one "The Sea, ... ... Sheug.", "A Shoe, ... ... Seugin." (bolding added).
