I hope the confusion is somewhat eased now.
You introduce even more ways of spelling these difficult sounds and think there will be less confusion?

Yes, I really thought that would be the case. But if I have contributed to even more confusion then I'm truly sorry.

Íslenska

Meyjar orðum
skyli manngi trúa
né þv*, er kveðr kona,
þv* at á hverfanda hvéli
váru þeim hjörtu sköpuð,
brigð * brjóst of lagið.

Svenska

På ord av en mö
må ingen man lita,
eller tro på gift kvinnas tal;
ty på rullande hjul
deras hjärta är skapat,
föränderlighet i bröstet inlagd

English
The speech of a maiden should no man trust
nor the words which a woman says;
for their hearts were shaped on a whirling wheel
and falsehood fixed in their breasts.

Hehe.

If anybody has any proverbs/sayings in their native language (or any other language) that are of the motivational variety, would you mind emailing them to me? I'd really appreciate it.

Tot ziens!

Danke schön! Du bist der Beste! Ich möchte viele Sprachen lernen.

The first character means "schön" and actually forms part of the word for America.

The second is "lotus". Together - my first name.

Here's a couple:

Först till kvarn får först mala
(The one who arrives first at the mill will be the first to do some milling)

Seek and ye shall find

Ask and ye shall be given

Actually it would be: Du bist die Beste! (as I am female)
Or was that the question of your male?
der - male
die - female
das - it

Imorgon ska jag se Sagan om Ringen och Sagan om de Två Tornen på DVD. Extended!

Good to watch the previous films before seeing RotK.
