	pias Number of messages: 8113	Haralds is a name, I don't know why I put an apostrophe there, I'll edit.

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Is the sentence in imperative?

	pias Number of messages: 8113	I don't think so, it's more like a statement. Does it look weird?

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	No, but in that case it should be "protects"

	Bamsa Number of messages: 1524	Nice translation Pia I don't think any icelandic could have done it better, mainly because they don't understand the source. You did a research and you found the answer. It is just that "Ã¦" which means something else, but since the source is old and unclear, I agree with your translation. Bamsa
