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).
