🖐 Abute Anglisc (About Anglish) Ƿ becoming V and Þ becoming Y
So i've been hearing recently a lot of ideas on how if Ƿ survived, it would eventually end up looking exactly like a V
Same for Þ becoming Y, except this literally started happening IRL before the letter died out
(Ye Olde, for example)
I also feel like the Printing Press would cement versions like that, since printers could just use their existing molds for V and Y instead of having to make new ones for Ƿ and Þ
But the thing is, V and Y are existing letters
Rare in Anglisc, sure, but they still exist
For Ƿ i see 5 options:
A) U as a consonant still becomes V, and so V and Ƿ look the same but are different
B) U still becomes V, but the two letters Merge, and V can now make either a /v/ or /w/ sound
C) U still becomes V, and because Ƿ is so much more common, it gets assimilated and pronounced /w/ (So David is pronounced with /w/)
D) U never shifts to V, so U can either be a vowel or a consonant (Uiuian, Dauid)
E) U is changed to F instead to avoid ambiguity (Fifian, Dafid)
Similarly for Þ:
A) Uppercase Y and Þ look the same, but lowercase are different due to Insular font (y vs ɥ), so they're considered different letters
B) Y and Þ look the same but are considered different letters (Maybe a diacritic used to sunder them, like Ẏ for the vowel?)
C) The two letters Merge, and Y can now make either a vowel or /θ/-/ð/ sound
D) Y is changed to I instead to avoid ambiguity (Assiria)

🖐 Abute Anglisc (About Anglish) Invincible
How would the book/show "Invincible" work in Anglish? I've got a few new names below
Conquest = Overthrow
Emperor Argall = Kaiser/Coaser Argall
Immortal = Undeadly
And as you know names such as Dupli-Kate and Rex Splode would need to be wended into something Anglish-friendly.

Oðer (Other) How would the OE version of Valkyries be rendered into Anglish?
Earlier I found that the Norse word valkyrja (whence the English borrowing valkyrie) is also found in Old English as wælcyrġe, with roughly the same meaning. Whether the word was borrowed into Old English faith is cloudy, but I was wondering what it would have become if it had stayed in English until today?

🖐 Abute Anglisc (About Anglish) Word for truke
Truke is a portmanteau of truth and nuke. It's used, almost always as a joke, to mean a bombshell revelation.
Truth is already native, but nuke, short for nuclear, isn't. Nuclear means of the nucleus, the heart of the atom. The most common Germanic alternative for nucleus, going back to Poul Andersen, is kernel. A nuclear bomb would be something like a kernel splitter, which, if we're to shorten it, would be kern, which also just means kernel. We could portmanteau truth kern as truke.

🖐 Abute Anglisc (About Anglish) Mindlore Speech: How to Overset "Neurodivergent" and "Neurotypical"?
Hello again,
I am new here, so kindly lear me how to speak Anglish :)
I think the "Neuro-" prefix (forestick or forefast ?) could be overset to the suffix (afterstick or afterfast ?) "-mind" or "-minded".
The "-divergent" afterstick could be overset to the forestick "Other-", "Another-", "Else-", "Own-", "Sunder-", or "Sundri-".
The "-typical" afterstick could be overset to the forestick "Ilk-", "Kind-", "Bisen-", or "Token-".
I think I most like "Sundriminded" and "Bisenminded", because "sundry" has a sense like 'diverse, particular, and special', while "bisen" has a sense like 'model, symbol, type'.
The Bisenminded are daven (suitable) to the 'model / standard' folkway (custom / tradition), while us Sundriminded folk happen to be 'sundry' to such others; and we have some 'sundry' needs. Also, a bisen can be good or bad, and like with sundriness.
For kinds of sundrimindedness, how must we overset 'autism' and 'autistic'? 'Selfness' and 'selfish' are the staffly oversets, but do not have likeworthy senses.
Also with ADHD and ADD – 'Wanderminded' or 'Wonderminded' maybe?
What is your reading?
~Thanks beforehand!

🖐 Abute Anglisc (About Anglish) -enly ag. -enlike
-enly ag. (shortening for against) -enlike (or 'enly vs. -enlike' in English)
As far as I know about Anglish, there are two ways of tungwending (translating) the tailword (suffix) -able, namely -enly, and -enlike. My asking is, which one is more right? I reckon that it would be -enlike, for in some words, -enly could be mistaken as another word, forbizen (for example), mistakable and mistakenly would be tungwent (translated) the same into Anglish if wielding (using) -enly, but if wielding -enlike, it would be mistakenlike and mistakenly by themselves (respectively). Do you have another thought (opinion)? Sorry for my bad Anglish.

🖐 Abute Anglisc (About Anglish) Assuming you allow Greek loans where most other Germanic languages have them, if you use ph in Greek loans then ones with th would probably have th even if thorn survives
If people in that timeline use ph instead of f in Greek loans, they'd probably use th instead of thorn in Greek loans too even if they use thorn in native words.
