  1. Another issue with long houses would've been due to the fact that it wasn't only humans living in them. Winters were harsh on everyone, so long houses also housed people's animals like pigs, goats, sheep, chickens and sometimes even horses and cows. Living this close to your animals in a cramped space undoubtedly lead to the spread of cross-species pathogens that sometimes made the human occupants sick.

  2. A point on pronounciation "Drakar" in Norse. "Drakar" means "Dragons" and the first a is elongated in a way that doesn't seem to be too common outside of scandinavia. The closest approximation I can think of is the video game "Baldurs Gate". You pronounce the first A in roughly the same manner as in the word "Drakar"
