But you said " It developed from the northern Old English (or Old Northumbrian) that was introduced into south-east Scotland (south of the Forth) from the 7th century AD onwards, as the kingdom of Northumbria expanded northwards. It was reinforced later by northern English that had been exposed to strong Norse influence after the Norse (Danes and Norwegians) occupied what is now Yorkshire and Cumbria."

Doesn't that make it Anglo-Norse ie Anglian and Norse? You know far more about it than me, so I'll keep quiet now.

Yes I have read the other contributions now. Agreement on the "haugr" , but Maes is a mystery. Good to have some mysteries left to think about.
