AN: I have gone back through this entire story and edited grammar/spelling mistakes and typos, and gave it an all-around polish.
Don't forget to check out the sequel-teaser "Dragonbane", and the sequel to "Hero by Mistake", "Hero by Choice"!
Appendix – Norren Glossary
The following is a glossary of "Norren" words that Deb has either learned or been exposed to in "Hero by Mistake". Note that elements of the lexicon derive from both Dovahzul (the dragon language and language of the ancient Nords) as well as Scandinavian languages. This is common in Skyrim, as names like Ulfric ("wolf-ruler"), Yrsarald (possibly from Yrr-halda, "wild/furious protector"), and Jorleif ("wild boar heir") are obviously Scandinavian.
Some words may be a mesh of both language origins or borrowed directly, as is common with load words and language development. There will also be some wildcards thrown in that don't follow grammar rules, but every language as "irregular" words. (The inconsistencies are mainly due to my own mistakes, though).
I apologize that FFnet won't let me post this as a nice table.
