'''NewNorn - English Wordlist'''
 
   
 
   
This wordlist is being updated as we go along creating new words or obtaining old Norn words in the process of writing these texts.
 
For a more complete dictionary of the NewNorn language used here, please go to the Dictionary of Nynorn
 
  
Some words that are not to be found in that dictionary, might be found in the Hildina Ballad Wordlist , created by the undersigned a few years ago.
