Verla (vviera) and I will be doing this as a duet, taking alternating chapters and PL'ing for each other. So we just need an MC

[Lynnet]

I'll MC for you.

[Lynnet]

Set up. I've put Jake in as BC and Verla as DPL so you both get access to the MW.
Let me know if you need anything else.

[jakemalizia]

Thanks! I think we're all set. I'll start filling out the MW.

[vviera]

Yes, I'll do all of Beowulf

[jakemalizia]

I think MW is pretty much done ... we can change it as necessary

[Lynnet]

For that last section, with both of you listed, you will need to manipulate the files so one doesn’t override the other.

Lynne, We can work together to stitch the raw Audacity into one file before it's exported. Thanks for MCing. I appreciate it!

Just FYI, I don't think there is going to be as much vocabulary research in this as I may have thought. Once I got past the first page or so, there wasn't nearly as much new. Also, I don't think there's anything in the preface that you can't just make a call on. So sally forth.

Oh, that's good!
Preface is here:

Off we go ... we will be much older and wiser by the end of this project

[vviera]

>>we will be much older and wiser by the end of this project

No doubt!!!

Preface PL OK.

Notes on it:
--"leges inter Brettos et Scotos" - Latin "g" is always hard, even before a front vowel. Doesn't seem necessary to redo this, though. (I didn't note the time mark.)
--and speaking of "necessary," I was surprised to hear you pronounce it with a full four syllables! (unlike preliminary, dictionary, etc.) Just an observation.
--It hadn't occurred to me that we might also be looking at Old Norse somewhere in here. (Duh.) It makes sense that I was looking at something like the paragraph at the beginning of p.242 and thinking "that seems weird for Old English." Cuz it ain't. We won't be reading the long paragraphs anyway, but we need to be able to identify them correctly before reading the translated paragraph. I don't know if we're also looking at any intertextual or isolated instances of Old Norse, but here are a couple pronunciation guides I found, just for our notes.

re: your section 37 question

"After this is a small paragraph (Jake) - shall we incorporate this into this section, rather create a new section just for 30 secs -1 min of text?"

Yes, I said to Lynnet that we'd work together to stitch your little piece onto my bigger one. One of us can share our file with the other.

I was thinking that then, for the last outro after your little piece, you could say both of us, as in "Read by jakemalizia and Verla Viera, [names of both locations], [date]" I think it would be cool to show it was an intercontinental collaboration.

OK, my turn!

[vviera]

p.s. My library no longer has an institutional subscription to OED, so I did a personal subscription. It's taking awhile to process. I'm not planning to start ch. 1 until I have that resource.

Thanks for the PL!
That is actually very strange about the hard "g", because I looked into that myself before recording it and what I looked at said the opposite I'll have to find it. I'm sure it said it changed to a soft "g" before an e sound. Weird.
Thanks for the Norse links - will bookmark it. I'm sure it'll be very useful.

Good idea about the outro, I like that.

No rush for your first section. Take as long as you want, I have plenty to do
