As I sit and try to make sense of the edits and additions penciled in on the original 1930s working copy of the nynorsk dictionary just so I can code them into the digitised version, I am struck by a beautiful thought. I am a modern day scribe! #digitalhumanities

Was working on a card for 'bispetobakk', a type of tobacco used by the bishop. A nice little note saying to look up 'petun' led me to this source card, so rabbithole it is. #lexicography #etymology

Sitting at home, thinking back on the amazing week that was the 19th Saga Conference in Katowice and Kraków. Deeply grateful for the excellent papers and atmosphere, my fingers are itching to put some new ideas to paper! #medievalsky
