Help, friends list?
I need translations (in any language - I will totally welcome things like Elvish and Klingon, too) for the following five words:
Welcome
Read
Listen
Create
Explore
Any bilingual/multilingual people out there who like to help me out? You'll get - okay. You'll just get thanks. But they will be very sincere thanks.

Hmm. Welcome could go something like:
- vel-kominn, pp. welcome (biðja e-n vera -kominn = wish someone be welcome)
- taka vel við e-m, to receive one well, give one a hearty welcome; (lit. take well with someone)
- kom heill! welcome (lit. come healthy/whole! I get the impression this is what you say when you see your friend appears on your doorstep - that kind of ritual welcome)
Some of these would need tweaking, and I'm a bit iffy on the first one.
Anyway, I must get back to work.

That is one of the awesomest things I've ever seen.
... and I don't know old Norse, except insofar as these are Icelandic, right?
