beneath be my wend of an ingraving under the southwark bridge in london, about a tide when the thames froze over, in 1814.

ordwrit

Behold the flowing Thames frozen o’re,

That latelich Ships of mighty Burthen bore

The Watermen for want of Rowing Boats

Make brooking of Stalls to get her Pence & Groats

Here thou mayst see cow breeded on the spit

And for thy pennies thou mayst smatch a bit

There thou mayst thrutch thy name, tho cannot write

For num'd mid cold: tis done mid a great fight

And lay hit by that elds yet to come

May see what things upon the ice were done

I've read once ago that the loss the English's gender system may have been through mixing with Old Norse in the northern speakers of Old English, so maybe no Anglish speakers care enough since it's more of an against-French movement - but OE nonetheless had grammatical gender. You could build a "modern" form of the articles (just for example) where OE sē and sēo could merge into an Anglish "sy" /saı/ to go with an inanimate "þat." Are there Anglish speakers who play in this kind of thinking?

What are your guys' thoughts.

I’ve been playing around Anglish a bit on my on my lunch break today, trying to find a “voice” that feels right to me. Here’s what I have so far:

“In the greenwood, the weary wanderer, his mantle rent and his heart heavy, from the unyielding tide of time and the hardships of the way, sought he rest."

By the same logic, French is just badly pronounced Latin words, Greek words, Italian words, Dutch words, other West Germanic words, Middle Eastern words (Persian, Aramaic, Arabic)

the French words for South, East. West, and North came from English, the French lost their native Celtic language (Gaulish) because of the Roman empire, French is a quasi-creole language.

60% of words used in Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese have Chinese origins.

languages of Muslim majority countries such as Turkey and Iran are full of Arabic words because it is the religious language of their religion around 35% or 40% of their words have Arabic origins.

It is crazy even the Turkish words for life, the conjunction "and = ve " come from Arabic.

Even Arabic is full of Aramaic words (Islam related words such as prayer, prophet, fasting, mosque...etc), Latin, Greek words, (the words for marriage, law, castle, police, spouse, pencil, language, ) Syriac, Persian words and other languages including some Ethiopian words (hypocrite, small table, railroad, journalist.....etc).

'Ghost' used to just mean any sort of spirit, up to and including the Holy Spirit, but nowadays, the word has narrowed to just mean the soul of a dead person. We could just set 'ghost' back to its old meaning, as some Anglishers do with 'deer,' but I'm not a big fan of this approach, preferring 'wildling' and 'wildlife' for 'animal'. I've thought of the word 'ghast', which is also related to 'ghost', but seems to have a negative connotation, which would be fitting in many cases.

In German I’m pretty sure it’s atomkraft?(sounds so fucking cool). Would it be the same in anglish

My thought process here is that Afrikaans is just a daughter language of Dutch with much simpler conjugations and no grammatical genders, similar to English. And Dutch is one of the closer Germanic languages to English.

I think it may be an interesting source to look at while looking for Anglish words.

If the goal of Anglish is to undo the undue influence of the Norman Takeover, it'd follow that any French that came into the tongue after the waning of French sway (~1400s) would be the outcome of bloodless ties rather than an outland yoke.

"Mog" is a word classified by the Urban Dictionary as "a term popularized by modern day aesthetic bodybuilders meaning out sizing or dwarfing somebody in muscle size, fullness, and definition

"Watch me man I’m about to fucking mog these rockets over there! Jesus Christ that guy is about to mog them!"

The word "mog" come from the acronym "A.M.O.G" standing for "Alpha male of the group" which was adopted by incel communities after pickup artists coined it. (citation)

"Alpha" is the first letter of the Greek alphabet; the first letter of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc alphabet is "Feoh" modernized as "Fee".

"Male" is from the Old French word "Masle"; there are many Anglish words to choose from to translate "Male": "Gome", "Wye", "were", or simply "man". In my system of Anglish though, the word "Man" is used to refer to simply a Human of any kind, or a person; I use "Wife" to refer to a female human, and "Were" to refer to a Male human. For this instance I am going to use "Were"

"Group" is from French "Groupe", though the word is indeed of Germanic origin; I do not believe in accepting Germanic words borrowed by French. The Anglish words that could be used to translate "group" would be: "Set", "Fold", or "Dright?"

from which I have concluded that the "proper" ways to translate this phrase would be either: "Wos" (Fee were of the set), "Wof" (Fee were of the fold), or "Wod" (Fee were of the dright)

"Bro! He's about to wos/wof/wod the whole school over there!"

Yesterday I was driving my wain to the home of a friend when I looked down to see a wee beaconer was a-lit. As I was thinking on how to carry on, it struck me. Is there a word for this thing in Anglish? This grouping of Readouts, the like one may find in a wain.

If so I want to know this word. If not, mayhaps we can call it a "Readout-Board" or some such?

Uþwitegung means philosophy. How do we modernize the word into modern English?

I thought of something today, the reason why English of today sounds so different from other Germanic languages is not just because the Norman rule introduced many French words into the language, but also because a slew of phonetic changes that removed much of the Germanic characteristics with the great vowel shift being the most prominent one. But the reason the great vowel shift might've happened in the first place is because of the prominence of French loanwords. Norman French and Old English have very different phonologies and if you ever hear a reconstruction of middle English you'll quickly realize the French Loanwords stick out like a sore thumb. In a natural language that can't be allowed to happen so gradually the French and Anglo phonetics mellowed each other out. Anglish is built on the premise of a purely Germanic English by reviving archaic vocabulary and applying phonetic changes to them in order to make it sound English, phonetic changes that wouldn't've happened without French loanwords and their different phonology. Though this is just a rant and not meant to be taken seriously and I'm probably misunderstanding what Anglish is about so take it with a grain of salt.

What would "Neorxnawang" be today if it had not been swapped out with "Paradise"?

'Window' is from Old Norse 'vindauga' ('wind door', originally referring to a chimney).

'Eyedoor' is the Wordbook's pick for an English equivalent. But Wiktionary gives 'eagþyrel' as the Old English. 'Þyrel' comes into modern English as 'thirl', but in compounds becomes 'tril', mainly in 'nostril' (nose-thirl). However, in most words, it was replaced by 'hole', so we might've gotten 'eyehole', but that already means 'eye socket' or 'eye', so we might've gotten 'eyetril' or something similar.

What'd you pick? 'Eyedoor' seems most obvious to me, since 'thirl' is such an obscure word.

School, is from Latin schola. In German they also wield Schule , So what would be an other word for "school"?
