The idea is that norn is to be built using mostly The remains of whats left of norn, so if the east-traits are prevalent the have to be taken into consideration.
I see that we could be facing a long discussion on this topic
Thanks a lot for the suduroy-info! I would be interesting to compare it to the remnants of norn and look for similarities

Eivind, as far as I know what we've got is such in a corrupted state, and mostly handwritten. If you take handwritten Icelandic sagas and their normalised counterparts, you'd argue that you're talking about two different languages. I was told that it all depended on the one copying the scripts and how was he trained. Sometimes they wrote 'as they heard' or referring to a particular dialect...

Italian was written in the same way, and you often find words with k's and other unconventional signs in the manuscripts...

Don't want to argue any more on this, otherwise it'll be an endless thread. I'll stick to what it will be decided.
