Land-nam for Free Edhli

'Land-nam' is to edbespeak umrun (re-claim environment) and also to ednim (reclamate) it, for the free Edhli; that is, to ward it from harm, under Edhlifrith (Nature-protection), so that it can begin to heal. This is helped by rousing the Land-dryg (wight) of the neighborhood from his dreaming. When he is busy in the doings of Edhli, he lies wound-up in the land as a dreaming whorl. But when he is aroused, he unwinds to rise rampant as a winged Orm (serpent), to ward the land and waters from harm. A bindrune for this is the ea-rune (a vertical stave balancing a 'w') topped by a small ing-rune (diamond-shaped), as this is belike to the shape of the risen Dryg. It can be malled (painted) on a bole or stone, which warns men that this land is under frith, but also to call the Dryg to one's mind so that he can be reached in the twyrymet (dual space) of his dreaming, where immynd (imagination) and Edhli meld. Here, one feels the helgoth (sacredness) that edgalders (reenchants) the land.
