The richness of Old Frisian ~ with Fryas subtitles

Fragments from video De Rykdom fan it âld-Frysk in which parts of Oldfrisian texts are read by translator dr. Oebele Vries, Tamara Schoppert and Sjoerd Bottema, with an epilogue by prof. Frits van Oostrom (then president of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences).

Original video from local Frisian television is from 2007 on the occasion of book publication Asega is het dingtijd?, compiled by dr. Vries.

Added are subtitles in Standskrift with an approximation of how the texts in the 'Fryas' style of Oera Linda might have been phrased and spelled, including some levities.

(text nr., title and pages refer to book Asega is het dingtijd?)

March 29 presentation and news

The edited video recording of the presentation in Joure for the In-Sight Foundation is now ready, with subtitles* in English, German, Dutch, Swedish and Danish:

=== other news ===

OL-wiki:

• Now has color HQ photo's of all manuscript pages.*
• Transcription of original texts is being improved and has moved next to (was: below) manuscript pages.*
• The new Dutch translation of OL is being worked on.

Ott & Stafford Fr(y)day calls:

• We have recorded six thus far (see playlist). The seventh (July 7) failed because of bad audio.

[* with many thanks to our Danish volunteer Pax!]

Preparation of 5th edition Codex Oera Linda

Now that the 4th edition is sold out, the 5th is being [will be]* prepared.

It will no longer have the design of alternating translation and transliteration, but proper paragraphs with on the right (odd) pages the translation and on the left (even) pages a transcription of the original text in Fryas Standskrift. Book size will be like the first two editions (17 x 24 cm), hardcover. It will include some manuscript pages (in black/white, greyscale), no longer colour copies of all 190 manuscript pages.

[Both transcription and translation are currently being revised.]*

sample pages

A pre-order possibility may be added to the webshop. Intended production in August [September]*.

[* edits July 9]

Notes to Kat lady video

An woman named 'Kat' made a video "The Oera Linda Book- Comparing Translations" with claims about Oera Linda and its English translations, including Sandbach's and mine (applauding the first and rejecting the latter). I will post a few examples of the strange twists of mind and low research quality demonstrated in the video.

1. Sandbach's "Kat the priestess"

At ca. 3:26 a video maker was strongly criticized because he referred to burgmaids as "priestesses" (image 1). Later she praises Sandbach's translation (image 2), not aware that the video maker used it (image 3). Compare original manuscript fragment and transliteration Ottema (image 4), also translation Ott (image 5).

Subtitled interview in two parts

Interview by Niels Lunsing and Merlyn van Dobben (Gletsjer Radio), in Dutch language, with subtitles in English and Dutch (German, Swedish and Danish to be added soon — credits to our volunteers!):

Part One about Oera Linda, in which some new information is revealed, not discussed earlier in interviews.

Part Two about Jan Ott, with more personal and 'unscientific' information.

I (JO) consider this recording the best thus far.

News update

New videos:

1) Compilation of Frijsia Festival performance, in Warns (near Stavoren), 24 September 2022. With Rypke Zeilmaker. About 'Subsidiefries' and with a translated (into Dutch) fragment about Frya. Subtitles in Dutch, English, Danish and Swedish (German to be added later).*

2) Subtitled selection of audio-only podcast (interview by Niels Lunsing) from 'De Andere Krant', recorded January 9. Full recording here. Subtitles in Dutch, English, German, Danish and Swedish.* (*with thanks to our Danish volunteer for helping make the subtitles)

3) Second Dutch studio interview at 'V for Valentine' (by Boris van de Ven), recorded January 25. A subtitled version will be added later to our video channel.

4) Recorded Dutch online chat at Gletscher Radio (Niels Lunsing and Merlyn van Dobben), recorded 14 February. A subtitled version in two parts will be released on our video channel. First 45 minutes is about Oera Linda and includes topics that were not discussed earlier. The last 30 minutes are more personal, about consciousness and 'coincidences'.

Oera Linda Foundation:

1) Web domain has changed from oeralinda.nl into oeralinda.org.

2) An Oera Linda forum has opened: https://forum.oeralinda.org.

3) An Oera Linda wiki has been added: https://wiki.oeralinda.org. Here the most up to date revision of the translation can be navigated, either in the original order, or in the alternative (more chronological) order, with links to transliteration and manuscript pages. Other sections contain lists of names and places as well as word studies. Much more will be added here. We intend to move (or copy) improved versions of the best posts from this blog there.

4) An Oera Linda font, 'Fryas Standskrift' was designed by our Danish volunteer and can be downloaded for free, either in the webshop, or on the new wiki which has more information and a second font, 'Wagumskrift'.

To be expected:

1) First presentation to public will be in Joure, Friesland on 29 March (in Dutch language), at Stichting In-zicht. More information and ticket reservation here.

2) A free PDF and EPUB version of the fully revised translation (without transliteration and manuscript pages) will be created and made available.

3) Application for 'ANBI' status ('Public Benefit Organisation') of the Foundation is being prepared.

4) Fryas language course (audiovisual), making use of the the 'Fryas Standskrift'.

(the manuscript has twice ÀND after THJVD, which I think is a more common copyist error. Overwijn read this as THJVDAND ÀND NÉI. Menckens also read 'thjudänd' as one word.)
There, they listened eagerly to the outrageous sagas of the Finns, because they were exotic and new. This is how, despite the authority of their parents, they lost their Fryas identity.

16e. Gosa: Purity of Language

In their wickedness, they went about inventing different languages, so as to speak secretly in the presence of others about all evil things and about all unworthy things without a stammer betraying them or a blush tainting their visage.

Among the Twisklander, many alien habits had crept in from the Tartars and Magyars, but many of our customs remained. Hence, they still have maidens who teach the children and advise the old.

Frethogunsta came to Staveren one year later. Among her followers was a magus, for the Jutters had long been corrupted. Shortly after the marriage of Askar and Fretho­gunsta, a temple was built at Staveren, in which strange idols were placed, clothed in garments embroidered with gold. There were rumors that Askar would bow down to them with Frethogunsta at night and at ungodly times.

'tsjoed' in 'Friesch Woorden-
boek' Dijkstra & Buitenrust
Hettema A-H (1896)

Notes:

• 'Tsjoed' in (modern) Frisian means 'wrong', 'bad', 'evil'.
• On the Tschuden/Chuds wiki:  (German): "Die mündliche Überlieferung der Samen und nördlichen Karelier ist reich an Geschichten über als Tschuden bezeichnete Räuber und Feinde" (translated: "Oral tradition of the Sami and northern Karelians abounds with stories of robbers and enemies known as Chuds") // (English): "another hypothesis contends that it is derived from the Sami word tshudde or čuđđe, meaning an enemy or adversary" 
• THJONSTER is 'sorceress' and THJUSTER(NESSE) is 'dark(ness)', mostly used in negative context. 
• Overwijn (1941, pp. xxxviii-ix) refers to Tsjoedi/Tsjoegi/Tsoegi => tsigoe, tsigeu => Tsigane, Tsigoin, Zigeun(er); i.e. 'gypsy'. Overwijn (1951, p. 90c) "de verzamelnaam voor Finnen, Letten, Esthen en Lappen in het Russisch is: Tsjoedskïï" van "Tsjodis of Tsjoedis".
  

===

If 2) means 'foreign people' (in a negative sense: unwelcome here), 3) could originally mean 'of the foreign people' in short 'foreign' or 'strange', but in a negative sense: 'alien'.

I think 'Tschuden' can be explained from the Fryas word. But I don't see a clear link between 1) and 2)/3) yet. 

C.H.U.D. (1984) - Trailer

4f. Minerva [035/05] "a certain kind of people wander the earth, who, [...] house themselves in temples and caves, gnawing in the dark. [...] to invent deceptions, to rob other people of their knowledge so they can more easily seize and enslave them, and suck their blood like leeches"

ÉR - honor

Mrs. Rohde (born 1843) with the
German Mother's Cross of Honor
in gold on her 100th birthday,
then mother of 8, grandmother
of 22, great-grandmother of 9
and g-g-grandmother of 2.

Besides 'ere' (previous post), ÉR in the Fryas language could also mean 'honor', a concept that has lost much of its meaning in our days. The word seems related to the term Arya(n).

If there are any who see through their tricks and try to expose them, these are caught by their henchmen and burnt for their heresy — always with solemn ceremonies, in honor of their false divinities — but in truth, it is only to protect the priesthood.

they have created false divinities for the uninitiated — everywhere proclaiming that these divinities have created the world with all that is therein — greedy divinities, full of envy and wrath, who demand to be honored and served by the people; who desire blood and sacrifice and demand rich offerings.

During my time, many events befell. I kept an extensive record of them, and much was also told to me later. Of one and [114] the other, I will add a selection to this book, to honor [of] the good and to shame [of] the bad.

I write this so people will not think they were Apollania’s. I went to great lengths to secure them and, thus, desire the honor for doing so.

I have not nominated an honorable mother, because I knew of none, and it is better for you to have none than one on whom you cannot rely.

16e. Gosa: Purity of Language
[159/01]

Because our language thus guides one to joy and gladness, and thereby helps keep watch against evil inclinations, its name ‘God’s language’ is fully justified, and all those who hold it in honor, take good from it.

18. Rika: Title Theft

Indeed, it is not only Frya and the honorable mother whose glorious titles they would steal (though, in truth, they could never approach these!), they do the same even with the honorary titles of their neighbors and kin

"my honor implies loyalty"

note ÉR in this case is probably short for THÉR: THÉR THRVCH NIS ÉR NÉNE KÉREN

ÉRSÉKE - 'ere-sake': cause of an effect

depictions with causes and consequences of marriage, by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, 1788 (source, source)

ÉRSÉKE, plural. ÉRSÉKA
'cause', as in 'cause and effect': reason for something taking place or for something being so; rational explanation.

Some modern cognates:
oorzaak - Dutch
oorsaak - Afrikaans
oarsaak - Frisian
Ursache - German
årsagen - Danish
årsaken - Norse
orsaken - Swedish
orsökin - Icelandic

Compound word of:

ÉR (superlative: ÉROST)
ere (first) - English
eer (eerst) - Dutch
ehe (erst) - German
etc.

and:

SÉK(E), plur. SÉKA/-UM
sake (case, thing, matter) - English
zaak - Dutch
Sache - German
etc.

- - -

Some Oldfrisian dictionaries seem to have limited understanding of the word:

Koebler: êrseke 2, afries., F.: nhd. alte Feinschaft; ne. animosity

Hettema 1832

Richthofen 1840

The same applies to the Dutch etymology site:

Derivation with 'oor-' with the noun 'zaak' (case) in the sense of ‘dispute, strife, lawsuit’. The original meaning is "ground for contention and accusation, cause for hostile action," in accordance with the oldest sense of 'case'.

Fragments in Codex Oera Linda:

After seven months, an assembly was planned in Greanega, since it is close to the Saxonmarks.

She had always hoped to become Folksmother because she sat in the burg here, where most elected mothers had been burgmaids.

18. Rika: Title Theft [189/10]

But this you all know, that he is called ‘All-feeder’, because everything comes from and grows out of him, so that his creations may be fed.
