Subject: RE: Pronunciation of Gaelic/Norn in 'King Orfeo'
It could possibly be this Orcadian Dictionary going on-line that you meant. It isn't Norn though. Norn was the now extinct form of Norse that was spoken in the northern isles and Hebrides. Orcadian and Shetlandic are dialects of Scots which were influenced by the former Norn language.
