Some members of St. Andrew Church had an active williness to hear the latest news about LENAPE History developments.

.

Rev. Nebo read the first Frozen Trail to Merica book (Talerman).  He was so interested that he volunteered to proof read the second  book (Walking to America).

.

Months later I was sitting in a front pew at St. Andrews.  But I was not paying attention to Rev. Nebo's sermon.

.

My mind was pondering about why the Drottkaveat format is focused on one alliteration and one rhyme in every six syllables.  Then I realized Rev. Nebo was using a modern example for a old story.  

.

He was talking about the electronic packets of information, which fly though space and which are "grabbed" by computers because they have self-verifying bits in them.

.

I was able to refrain from shouting "Eureka," but I did not wait until monday before pulling out the decipherment of the first stanza of the LENAPE History.

.

Were the Old Norse Syllables, which I had found, in Drottkaveat format?  

.

Well, not exactly, but close enough to convince me where the communications failure might have been.

.

The Drottkaveat format is a method to make sounds in a stanza self-verifying.  

.

Craig and I discovered that we could "keep score" as we tried to use different Old Norse words to decipher the LENAPE History stanza's.

.When the score was 100% we knew we had the right number of alliterations and rhymes.  That score convinced us that we had found the correct Old Norse syllables for the stanza.

I call it "serendipity".  Rev. Nebo might say "The Lord works in mysterious ways."

Was "Divine guidence" at work?
