Personally, I don't have any reason to believe that the Tresoar copy is NOT the original 13th C. copy.

and also on the page numbering , as it seems page 4 , is not the reverse side of page 3 etc
Page 3 was photographed with other pages under it, so one has to look close to see that it is actually the reverse side of page 4.

it has always seemed lucky/weird , that in the Okke min sunne letter , that the writing on both sides of the page starts under the torn part of the page , as if it was originally written on a damaged leaf ??
Interesting observation. Yes, that makes sense.

if you go to tresour pagina 196 ... the copy of the book looks like the paper is much whiter , and it may be an optical illusion , but the pages also look narrower and longer than on the next page .....what do you think.

It is remarkable that there are so many different words for left and right in Europe, while it must be an old concept.
Note that from the Oldfrisian words WINSTER and FÉR, only varieties of WINSTER has survived in the Scandinavian languages.

Wirth (German, 1933): "und ihr Schwert gleich lang" Jensma (Dutch, 2006): "en haar zwaard evenveel"
All translations assume - from the context - that GÉRT means sword.
Everywhere else in OLB, GÉRT means desire (Dutch: begeerte).
It is used in the combination MANGÉRTE = girl or young woman, as a name (the daughter of PIRE) and her followers, theGÉRTMANNA.
In the fragment, I don't think it meant sword, but something like a staff or long rod.
Hettema Oldfrisian dictionary (1832): Gerd, geerd = roede (rod) Etymologiebank: garde = rod, stick Gtb: garde, gaarde, gerde = rod
"Guard" may very well be related.
etymonline.com/guard
Does anyone know what word was used in the (most) original text?
Not true.
Ont- can mean aan-.
Example: ontsteken = (a.o.) aansteken
gtb.inl.nl/ontsteken
A literal translation for aanvang would be catch-on.
Although the words ANFANG and BIJIN virtually mean the same, there is a subtle difference.
ANFANG suggests an initial act by someone or something, in this case WRALDA.
BIJIN is a more passive beginning.
Sandbach's translation of these words is fine.
Origin also has a very similar meaning to beginning.
All that is based on assumptions.
Even if some people named a goddess so, what did her name mean?
The origin of the word may very well be explained by the OLB, as so many other words and names.
- - - -Anyway, my point was and is that the word BEGIJNEN / BEGINEN (which has no clear etymology yet) may have come from an old WRALDA-cult, named after T.BIJIN.
One can easily turn that around: in the bible traces can be found of older traditions.
For who has any imagination, it does.
From creation myth:
"Wralda, that/who alone is perfect and eternal, made the ANFANG. After that came TID (time)."
So ANFANG is older than time.
Beginning (BIJIN) may be a more profane word.
Knul made a good point: to use two words with a similar meaning, one can make the concept stronger ("very beginning").
WR.ALDA (the very oldest) = GOD (good or perfect) + ÉVG (eternal or forever)
God = WR.ALDA = T.ANFANG (the origin or beginning) = T.BIJIN = the utter start
