# Old Norse Dictionary

> Old Norse Dictionary is a multilingual searchable dictionary based primarily on Richard Cleasby and Guðbrandur Vigfússon's 1874 Icelandic-English Dictionary. It helps users browse Old Norse words, definitions, orthography notes, runic display, source abbreviations, and related entries in eight language editions.

The canonical production site is https://oldnorsedictionary.com/. English dictionary content paths use `/home/...`; localized editions use `/da`, `/de`, `/es`, `/it`, `/no`, `/sv`, and `/zh`.
