    Notes:

    Use Modern English pronouns as a guide to your strong inflections. Go with your instinct.

    While translating, think in sentences, not in verse units (half lines). Half lines will often dispose according to phrasal structure. Check the handout for common problems in Caedmon's Hymn.
