Middle Norwegian quotation

[edit]

I went to the Medieval Nordic Text Archive, switched to "Basic search", and entered "hester". There were no results. If anyone can recommend another corpus or examples of Middle Norwegian texts then maybe I can quote it (or they can do so on their own). 98.170.164.88 23:42, 12 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I found these uses from 1350–1550 through Diplomatarium Norvegicum:

  • [1] (1531, Konghelle): oc alt hans konngelige maiestats krigsfolck medh hester haffuer oc hues deel j haffue medffare ffrijdt oc frelst beholle oc nyde.
  • [2] (1358, Oslo): þer med ein hest eit par vapn þet bestæ sem han atte vm Ansteins lifdagha en eftir fra fal Ansteins þa skal fallæ jerdir vapn ok hester after vndir Eilif eðr hans rettæ erfingiæ ok til sannyndæ settom mit okor jnsigli firir þetta bref er gort var deghi ok are sem fyr seghir.
  • [3] (1382, Bergen) Er ligger a jadrænom ok j bordu kirkiu sogn. skal ok oftnæmfder herman /l-/fa/-l/ after j mott leggia .xi. mærker forngildar. skal þat wera j eit horn ok ein hester.

There is one more that I didn't want to bother to transcribe correctly into wikitext: [4]. Maybe someone (User:Eiliv seems active) can check that these are actually in Middle Norwegian and using the word as described. 98.170.164.88 00:43, 13 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
