Wording
On page 191 at the very bottom of the page, it says, "Both had reached the end of the road, through the life they had been lent." I love this wording, how the life they had lived out was not theirs, but lent to them by God.
Linked rings
On page 20, after line 2990, it says, "Eofor and Wulf were over loaded, by Hrethel's son, Hygelac the Geat, with gifts of land and linked rings..." At first I did not know what they ment by linked rings. Now I believe it means chain-mail, since they often refer to the linked mail.
Bier?
Both on page 209 and 210 they mention "bier." What does this mean? Is it like a funeral pyer? Or...what?
