You can just say "Note: Riddle 27 is untranslated. End Note." But if you have skill in Old English, you're welcome to try it!
yes if possible, we should not take out any part of the text, as this is our policy usually

I guess Devorah could help, or I could try or we find another online version in our modern spelling to make reading easier.

I asked my librarian about the noise, and she said, "no one would come here
if they weren't allowed to talk out loud." So I read out loud.

Very beautiful, but I see where some mockery of the theatrical death might come in!

Section 18 PL Notes:
Great reading of a hard translation. Just a technical error to rectify.
  • 00:00 The volume of this track is 84.58dB. LV requires the overall volume for the track (measured by ReplayGain - you can try this tool if you want to check the volume) to be between 86-92dB (with 89dB being the ideal). The easiest way to fix this automatically is to use the 'Loudness Normalization' effect (set to -19LUFS in 'perceived loudness' mode) in recent versions of Audacity before exporting the track as an MP3. If you use RMS normalization, set it to -21dB. Another way to fix it would be to use the Amplify effect set to 4dB.
  • 00:00 Note (no change needed): There were ID3 tags on this file. These are cleared and re-added at cataloging so you could save yourself some time by not adding them at export time.

reloaded with amplification

Yes, the translation is lumpy. Could have rearranged a few clauses to make it easier, but the effect of the halt phrasing is emotional.
