Scandinavian Influence on English Words

This chapter discusses the origins of several English words that have Norse roots, including the transformation of the Latin root 'domus' into 'tofte' in Old Norse and the connection between the Old Norse word 'homer' and the English word 'hill.' It also explores the prevalence of Scandinavian place names ending in 'b' or 'by' and the influence of Scandinavian settlement in the Danelaw region of England.
