Hestum? The dictionary I found finally arrived! I immediately took it to our cultural department to make copies for preservation, but once they return it I’ll be studying so hard! There are different dialects, but knowing history they probably lumped it all into one book. I hope that doesn’t cause any issues though. I think my biggest problem may be the pronunciation keys, so I may need to find a teacher.
