How to make those diphthongs (mashed together A-E's/O-E's) and other vowels with squiggly marks:

Press and hold down the ALT key while typing the four number code on your NUMPAD, then release ALT.

Oh thanks. That would be super helpful...if I wasn't using a laptop keyboard (i.e. no numpad).

I also use a laptop - it's a Dell. It has a keypad built into the letter keys which is accessed through using the Fn (Function) key - does your laptop have something like that? If so, you hold down the Function & Alt keys together and use the 'numpad'.

Thanks much for posting the aid, Pio! Gwath, don't worry about it - typing both letters is quite readable. "dh" = "ð" .... and accent marks are a luxury some of us prefer to use. Technically, Eodwine ought to be Éodwine.

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
Honestly if I had to put in every single accent mark I wouldn't bother... autocorrect in my word processor for me.

What time is it at Scarburg? I want to post for the hunting party, but I'm afraid that I have moved too fast with the hunting and return of the group. Should I stall a little longer?
