Jakobsen's Norn Dictionary
Hi Robinum, and welcome to Wikisource! I see you've been taking a look at some of the pages of the Norn Dictionary. I just wanted to make you aware (if you weren't already) that you can view text from the corresponding page in the original PDF file. By using this you can highlight, copy & paste the text from each individual column on the page, so you don't have to rearrange the text yourself manually.

While it is not standard practice on Wikisource to have line breaks for each line, for the current purposes of my transcription and the amount of pretty complex formatting that has to applied to this text, I need line breaks for now so I can keep track of where I am on the page as I apply the formatting.

Also, if you'd like to have a go at transcribing the page with phonetic characters and such, I have created a custom CharInsert tool with the most common phonetics symbols and templates used so they are more easily accessible. You are welcome to make use of this as well - to do so:

Then, when you edit another page, select the "Norn" option from the dropdown menu directly below the editing window, and you will have quick access to most of what is needed.

If you get stuck with anything, don't hesitate to ask on the Scriptorium help page.

Happy editing! —&#8202;🐗 Griceylipper (✉️) 22:24, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
