In Response To: Re: Beowulf (Bro!) (VikingBoyBilly)

: This is hot garbage! Lies, I say! No viking ever said "bro." Just
: forget that the word "brother" has Germanic etymology.

It's more a translation of the "lo" as in "Lo and behold" The author describes it as saying "Hey, listen to this" without implying any differences in status between the speaker and the audience.
