A blog about OE Riddles
« on: April 06, 2013, 11:12:08 PM »
The first thing I thought when I found this blog on the Internet was, 'I must tell Linden about it.' I've found a blog about OE Riddles run by two academics from the universities of Cambridge (er... UK or USA  ???  ?) and Toronto. Honestly, I didn't go into its details, but I think it's a good website for those interested in the subject. The link is:

I hope you'll enjoy it. Oh, and... Linden, please let me know your opinion.

Hello Iohannes - I have not visited the Gegaderung much for some weeks so apologies for the late response.
The blog site on the Exeter Book riddles looks as if it might be very interesting as it develops. It's good to see a mention of Cochran's paper on riddle 4 - her argument that 'wearm lim' refers to 'warm mud' is right on the button in my opinion as is her solution of ploughing.
I look forward to the further development of the site.
