Craig: Today, with help from Myron, he have come up with the decoding for AKHOMENIS, the Lenape being AT KAMA NIS (CA), although I still need some verification on the last word NIS (CA).  But, to go on the Old Norse AT GU MPR NORSKA "all the opposite side Norse"  Paraphrase: " The Norse on the opposite side".   As for myself today I found the next decoding for MICHIHAKI which I believe to be is MICHILIMACKINAC (LENAPE) and the Old Norse being MIKILL MEGIN AKR = "GREAT MAIN-LAND" VOL 4 P. 124,  Thus making the new Paraphrase so far "The Norse on the opposite side (of the) great main-land".  As for WELLAKI so far I have found some words on in Vol 1 p. 229-232 and WELHIK in Vol. 4 of which I found a note for in Vol. 7 (place-name).  Also after having a discussion with Dr. Esposito, who called up Dr. Ives Goddard who gave us some sources and idea's to look into in regards to the Walum Olam, of which Mike will focus on and look into those sources while I will research the International Phonetic Alphabet as a potential source of secondary decoding for the project.  Although, it should be mentioned that Dr. Ives Goddard does not believe the Walum Olam existed.

  1. Craig,

    Great Job!

    I assume you have already recognized that "michihaki" is "Michlimackinac" with the ON "Megin" syllables left out. That is one of the benefits of thinking in syllables.

    In this case "Michlimackinac" is the word to chose as a basis. But you can leave out the LENAPE "MACKIN" so the rest ot the word defines "MICHIHAKI,"

    The word "WELLAKI " is not there. But the LENAPE syllable for "WEL" is combined with many things. "Well" can be comgined with "AKI" meaning land.

    For what it worth, the NORSE CHRISTIANS in Western Minnesota were calling their land "Wynaki" (V1 P309) meaning "Fine Land" in the 14th century. The Swede who punched "Wynaki" into the Kensington Runw stone used his spelling and wrote the name as "Vinland of West."

    I think this stanza and the Kensington Rune Stone are supporting testimony and evidence of the Norse Christians, who called themselves Lenape in their Migration.
