I may hirple, but I refuse to girgle. And I can't even check you out on
Klaeber, as it rests with my ex-wife.
Who is partly ex- because of an argument we got into over the pronunciation
of the third word in the poem -- Gar-Dena or Yar-Dena?
As Wrenn (which was the edition which I inherited from the
property-division) transliterates yog as "g" here, as presumably Klaeber
does too (for obvious reasons, I'm unable to check this), I can't at this
distance in time for the life of me work out how the argument could have
started.
Unless (as seems all too likely) I was refusing to accept the conventional
hard yog pronunciation.
So you can see why I'm sensitive on this issue.
