       #OldEnglish #WordOfTheDay gliwhleóþriend [ ᚷᛚᛁᚹᚻᛚᛖᚩᚦᚱᛁᛖᚾᛞ ] : musician, minstrel.gliw: Glee / Joyfulhleóþriend (or hleoþrung) : sound; noise; musical sound Gliwhleóþriend: litteral translation is "Glee-Sounder" but it's meaning is  "A person who making joyful music and sounds"I love this word, because it beautifully describes what a musician / minstrel does. There is something magical and romantic in the simplicity of the literal translation, "glee-sounder". I am sure the images in our minds and the sounds that fill our imaginations are linked deeply with that outstanding and beautiful joy.Another translation of a minstrel is: gleomann / glíwman which means "Glee man; a person that brings glee, this can also mean jester. However, for me gliwhleóþriend truly sums up emotion, romance and magic that a minstrel / musician brings to us all.Pronunciation: https://files-thefolklore-cafe.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/attachments/glee-sounder.m4a #FairytaleTuesday #AngloSaxon  #Jutish @histodons @anglosaxon @oldenglish @languagelovers
