    Can anyone tell me where to find a good Old Norse dictionary(apart from kazaa and this kind of downloading programmes).

    Norse ?

    Well, I don't know really, but I would search in the library of the germanistic or anglistic branch of an university or in a real big library.

    There are lots of such dictionaries, but they're special interest. So quite expensive.

    You'll find it a lot cheaper I'd suggest to start with Icelandic, which has changed relatively little over the years due to the isolation of the country.

    To my knowledge, there technically is no such language as "Norse" since it's merely the language that has over the last 1000 years evolved into Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and Icelandic, with Icelandic being by far the least changed.
