re: Clever Online Old English Dictionary

With the "Riders of Rohan" expansion just around the corner, I thought some of you might find this useful for horse and weapon names.

An Anglo-Saxon Dictionary
http://archive.org/stream/anglosaxondictio00tolluoft#page/n3/mode/2up

This is a scanned book, but it is fully indexed and searchable. I like the way it displays the search results, as they are especially easy to navigate.

If you don't find what you're looking for there, you might want to try...
A Concise Anglo-Saxon Dictionary
http://archive.org/stream/AConciseAnglo-saxonDictionary/anglo_saxon_dictionary_concise#page/n3/mode/2up

I love this second one. It was printed in 1817 and has a student's signature from 1917!

I hope you find them useful. Enjoy!

re: Clever Online Old English Dictionary

I've got the paperback facsimile edition of that one, it's got a student's signature from ... some time in the first half of the 2000s, I really should have added the date :)
It's a very handy thing to have when you play a Rohirric character.

And here's another link for an online Old English dictionary.
http://home.comcast.net/~modean52/oeme_dictionaries.htm

This one has both Old English to Modern English and Mod. E to OE, which makes it extra easy to find what you're after. Between the above link and J. R. Clark Hall's dictionary, you should be able to find anything you can think of (except maybe "spaceship" and "computer").
