Olt Anglish: Scould þæt word endungan belifan in Ænglisc?

Modern Anglish:
Should ðe word endingen beliven in Englisch?
/ʃʊ:d ða ʋoɹt εndɪŋə: bəlaɪvən ɪn εŋglɪʃ/

[qwed117]

I see no why in leaving last writing ways. Forethoughtless ways should even so be kept. Words themselves are born unto themselves, none forethought found. What meaning do you see in "endungan"? I find no meaning in word-books.

[GrandPiano]

I think it's meant to mean "ending". -ing was often -ung in Old English.

[qwed117]

Well, then. That abidding would be silly. Why not just leave "ending" here? Our goal is to keep father-German words, leave loans. Not to rebuild the entire speech community. Leave them as they come.

It is truly hard to get rid of all Latin and Norman French words when speaking English, Norman French and Latin words have become a share of English that can't be cut off...we can always brook Norman French and Latin words when we don't think carefully.

In the stead (city) of Vancouver there is snow falling from the Loft (air). It's making the beamen (trees) all white.

Why not choose words that are in common speech already.
"In the town of Vancouver, there is snow falling from the sky, making the trees white."

Or even


"In the town of Vancouver, there is flother falling from the welkin, whitening the boughs and beams."

A little Yultide like-ringing.

Ah, this berines the heart more hooly & reamy!

Indeedy!



And have a happy & merry Yule (Or Winter Sunstead, or Gautama's Birthday, or whatever gleemoot) y'all!




Come thou Flother, from on high!

I guess Beam felt more Germanic than Tree because I felt like using English words that were likewords (cognates) with Dutch/German common words

Seeing as tree is from Old English and is a better choosing than beam in the framework (context), I feel that that was eftflowing (redundant).

eft-flowing = full of newts (?)


One big hurdle in the business of Anglish is how much "borrowing" to do from other Thiedish folks' tongues.

A good many of the borrowings & Thiedish-twinnings, methinks, are overmuch. While sometimes there are truly some gaping potholes in the path to find English-only likewords,nonetheless there are many English words in good stead that need no wending into half-Thiedish, or too much Thiedish. Often methinks less is more.

'Beam' could work in a few sayings as 'tree', but 'tree' already has life in English, and ought to likewise have life in Anglish.

With a little more delving in earnest, one might be struck by how many English words are Anglish-worthy (that is to say, Teuton enough as is) , without going the path of speech with overblown twinning.

Yet keep at it, Konungr!
For, even by tumbles and stumbles, we may go on ahead.

Cosh em easy like! Get more words out of em that way! But we must not be overeager.

Wisely said --- many are the wonder words in the mathomhouse of English. Look here in our own root dunge first, raid the neighbors' only when we're truly tharving, indeed starving for a word!
