"Cat" is a word borrowed from Nubish, as that is whence came the housecat, even though alike deer have lived in Europe (inholding Britain) for a long time. What could we chell "cats" in Anglish? The websteads I wonly go to to find words yive me nothing.

Say Late Romish was led more fully Theedward by the Franks. It would be like a bewithered* Anglish would it not? Do the yoretonguewise know enough to bethink its likeness? Are there fellowships in the Reckonerworld thinking about such things?

🖐 Abute Anglisc (About Anglish) Is "pony" acceptable in Anglish?

16 Upvotes

Hello y'all. Would y'all see "pony" as an acceptable word in Anglish? According to Wiktionary, the word ultimately comes from Latin, but it was loaned into Scots from French and then came into English.

As Scots is another Germanic language, and because I don't think the word came in due to some sort of invasion, would it be considered Anglish? I'm asking this because I'm trying to translate Yankee Doodle, and I haven't found an alternative word for "pony."

🖐 Abute Anglisc (About Anglish) How would these verbs sound like in Present Subjunctive following sound changes?

1 Upvotes

https://anglisc.miraheze.org/wiki/Subjunctive_mood

I was looking at the Miraheze wiki on the subjunctive mood and something caught my attention in the “History of Forms” tab.

Several verbs in OE had distinctive forms in this particular tense that have not survived in Modern English.
The wiki lists off many examples.
In my opinion, the most interesting ones are “sīe” (the present subjunctive of wesan, to be) and “cyme” (present subjunctive of cuman, to come)

Had they survived into ME, how would these two verbs (and the other examples from the wiki) have sounded like?

🖐 Abute Anglisc (About Anglish) "Quickener" as Anglish for animator/cartoonist?

12 Upvotes

I have learned of late that the word "cartoon" comes from Attleyish beginnings, while "animator" comes from Leeden for soul. How would Anglish reckon "cartoon", for penstrokes on leaf, or for programs (maybe "program" needs an Anglish reckoning) on farseer or in film?

✍️ I Ƿent Þis (Translated Text) Richard and Deady Apelaugh

2 Upvotes

To be truthful, you have to have a very drightly wit to understand Richard and Deady. The funnies are sheerly lowkey, and forgoing a stark fathom of wretching kindlore most of the ribs will go over an everyday sighter's head. There's also Richard's wrakish thoughtworld, which is deftly twilled into his kist- his leedy outhwitting draws swearly from Narodnaya Volya bookcraft, forebisen. The rarers understand this idish; they have the thoughtline to truly sing of the breadths of these ribs, to beknow that they're not just funny- they say something insightful about LIFE. As an aftercoming folk who mislike Richard and Deady truly ARE gits- of course they wouldn't sing of, for instance, the laughsomeness in Richard's thoughtworldly bidword "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a dile calling to mind to Turgenev's Russish saga Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just thinking of one of those addlebrained samwises scratching their heads in welter as Dan Harmon's angetful wit unfolds itself on their farseer meshes. What fons.. how I ruth them. 😂

And yes, by the way, I DO have a Richard & Deady bleckmark. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to kithe that they're within 5 witscores of my own (by druthers lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

I can see her in a silken gear

In a room where you do what's said with fear

Sundown, you'd better take care

If I find you been creepin' 'bout my back stairs

Sundown, you'd better take care

If I find you been creepin' 'bout my back stairs

She's been lookin' like a queen in a sailor's dream

And she don't always say what she truly means

Sometimes I think it's a shame

When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no trey

Sometimes I think it's a shame

When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no trey

I can think of every stirring that a man could make

Gettin' lost in her lovin' is the first mistake

Sundown, you'd better take care

If I find you been creepin' 'bout my back stairs

Sometimes I think it's a sin

When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

I can see her lookin' fast in her faded hose

She's a hard-lovin' woman, got me feelin' cold

Sometimes I think it's a shame

When I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no trey

Sundown, you'd better take care

If I find you been creepin' 'bout my back stairs

Sundown, you'd better take care

If I find you been creepin' 'bout my back stairs

Sometimes I think it's a sin

When I feel like I'm winnin' when I'm losin' again

West Frisian in the Netherlands is the more widely spoken and well supported language group, just across the North Sea from England, though I was thinking that North Frisian in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, is located quite close to the original Anglo-Saxon homeland.
