Gordon's dense <I>An Introduction to Old Norse</I>, and once to quote a passage from <I>Sir Gawain</I>, the four lines beginning "Somwhyle wyth worme3 he werre3", the same lines where, as Shippey notes in <I>J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century</I>, Tolkien could've taken the words <I>woses</I> and <I>etten</I>, though Drout observed that the names are all that Tolkin could have used: there is no explanation in the poem of what "wodwos" or "etayne3" are.N.E.
