‘Já,’ sagði Hǫttr, ‘ek mun til þessa ráðast.’ / Konungr mælti: ‘Ekki veit ek, hvaðan þessi hreysti er at þér komin, Hǫttr, ok mikit hefir um skipazk á skammri stundu.’ / Hǫttr mælti: ‘Gef mér til sverðit Gullinhjalta, er þú heldr á, ok skal ek þá fella dýrit eða fá bana.’ / Hrólfr konungr mælti: ‘Þetta sverð er ekki beranda nema þeim manni, sem bæði er góðr drengr ok hraustr.’ / Hǫttr sagði, ‘Ætla svá til, konungr, at mér muni svá háttat.’

Here you can test your Old Norse skills by filling out information about the grammatical form of words in the text. A word is chosen at random. You must choose the part of speech first, then the other categories will be enabled as relevant. If the text has not been lemmatised (linked to dictionary headwords) this page won’t function correctly; if it has been lemmatised but not parsed in the database you will only be able to select the part of speech and not the other grammatical information. You will have completed the task when all enabled buttons have been highlighted. Some parts of speech which do not decline/conjugate will not require any further action than selecting the correct part of speech.
The hint will give information about the translation of the word in context which may help to to determine the grammatical information.
