A.
PRONUNCIATION,
etc.
--
The
Icel.
e
is
sounded
as
English
a
in
same,
take,
and
in
modern
printed
books
is
only
used
in
radical
syllables
without
regard
to
etymology;
but
there
is
sufficient
evidence
that
in
early
times
in
Icel.
the
e
had
a
double
sound,
one
long,
like
the
Italian
e
or
English
a
(long),
the
other
short,
like
e
in
English
wet.
These
two
sounds
are
etymologically
different;
the
first
is
of
comparatively
late
growth
and
derived
from
a
by
vowel
change
or
otherwise;
it
is
therefore
in
kindred
languages
(Swed.,
Germ.)
often
spelt
ä,
so
as
to
indicate
its
origin
from
the
mother-letter
a:
the
other
e
is
much
older,
nearly
akin
to
i,
being
related
to
that
letter
as
o
to
u.
Grimm
suggests
that
e
is
derived
from
i
as
o
from
u
(only
admitting
a,
i,
u
as
primitive
vowels),
but
in
the
Icel.
at
least
e
and
o
are
in
spelling
as
old
as
i
or
u,
and
seem
to
be
primitive.
The
Runes
in
Tune
and
on
the
Golden
horn
have
special
marks
for
e
and
o.
At
the
time
of
Ari
and
Thorodd
the
two
seem
to
have
been
distinguished
in
Icel.
The
latter
grammarian
uses
a
special
sign
for
each;
he
proposes
to
represent
the
long
sound
(Engl.
a)
by
UNCERTAIN
(commonly
),
adding
(as
he
says)
the
bight
of
a
to
the
body
of
e,
to
express
a
sound
intermediate
between
ä
and
e;
he
therefore
would
have
written
UNCERTAIN
(I
take),
UNCERTAIN,
UNCERTAIN
(to
tame),
but
eðr,
en,
ef,
etc.,
Skálda
161-163;
in
the
unique
vellum
MS.
(and
in
Edd.)
the
characters
are
not
given
correctly,
as
transcriber
and
editors
did
not
fully
understand
the
bearing
of
the
author's
words.
About
700
years
later,
Jacob
Grimm
(without
knowing
the
Icel.
grammarian
or
the
spelling
of
MSS.
not
then
edited)
recalled
the
old
double
e
sound
to
life,
guided
by
the
analogy
of
other
Teutonic
languages.
He
proposed
to
represent
a
(the
of
Thorodd)
by
e,
and
the
genuine
e
by
ë.
He
(Gram.
i.
281-284)
drew
out
a
list
of
words
founded
on
the
supposed
etymology,
and
kept
this
distinction
wherever
he
spelt
Icel.
words.
It
is
curious
to
observe
the
difference
between
Grimm's
artificial
list
of
words
and
the
phonetic
spelling
in
some
MSS.;
there
are
especially
two
MSS.,
both
of
them
Norse,
which
are
remarkable
for
their
distinction
of
the
two
sounds,
the
long
e
being
spelt
with
æ,
the
short
with
e:

MSS.
are

frið-bönd, n. pl. 'peace-bonds,' straps wound round the sheath and fastened to a ring in the hilt when the weapon was not in use; hence the phrase, spretta friðböndunum, to untie the 'peace-straps,' before drawing the sword, Sturl. iii. 186, Gísl. 55; the use of the word in Krók. 40 is undoubtedly wrong: cp. the drawings in old MSS.
