ok, I recently ran across a word, and for some reason the "pronounciation key" that was with it made no sense to me. It's from Old English, like before 900, and I already know what it means, but if some one could tell me how to pronounce "wærloga" I would really appreciate it.

Near as I can tell, it is an old english word which is believed to have been the source for the more modern word warlock. The most accepted etymology is that it was a Scottish word meaning "oathbreaker"

I do know that the æ is pronounced as IE, as in pie....,and that the W has a sort of a V sound, since it is very Old German....
