New CBB

By "dƿarven ƿanderer" I meant {dwarf planet} ("ƿanderer" = {planet}), like Pluto. I ƿould have called ðat former ninþ planet (now a dƿarf planet) Hel; I ƿouldn't have called Earþ's one-step-inƿard tƿilliger Hel, but raðer Freyja or Friȝȝa.

Is Sedna a dƿarven ƿanderer?

What of {Charon}?

Do you sooþly ƿant to call ðe asteroids or planetesimals "Starlets"? If so I guess ðat's cool. Took me a bit to figure out you ƿere saying you spent a lot of cƿarters playing "asteroids".

I þouȝt of "parasite" for {satellite}, but I couldn't þink of the Anglish for it. Perhaps "carl"? Some gloss or synonym for "attendant"? Maybe just "folloƿer"? Perhaps "hund"? I ƿent ƿiþ "moon", but I don't knoƿ if ðat ƿas good; or raðer, I don't knoƿ if ðat ƿas best.

{sorry no special characters here}
Truly, {Venus} could and by rights should be Freyja or Friȝȝa. I þreƿ out ðe name 'Hell' for this, ƕich see:
http://www.strangehorizons.com/2002/200 ... erno.shtml

Selfishly, I þink noþing is won wiþ {planetesimal}. If it is as big or bigger ðan ðe Moon, and folloƿs its oƿn ring-paþ ymb ðe Sun, to me, ðat is kiþ and kin to a 'Ƿorld'. After all, 'Tis bigger ðan ðee or me, innit?

{satellite}? Hmmm..... child-Ƿorld? Ƿorld-þrall? To me, a moon is a moon is a moon, and ever so shall be.

{Charon}.... Meanest ðou "boatman of bard's tales"? Or merely "moon of {Pluto}".

Charon :: Pluto... I ƿould saȝ Niddhögg::Nastrond or somesuch. But ðis smacks too much of Norþmen's smorgasbord, no? Maȝhap ðe Hellmoon :: Hell. Knoƿ not I.


ƕat þinkest ðou?


All in all - Aƿesome þread!

I couldn't see ðy comment ðere, unless ðou ðyself art Peter Jekel, in ƕich case it's still not cƿite clear ðat's ƕat ðou'rt saying.



Ƿell, ƕen astronomers agreed ƿiþ ðat, ðey got up to 45 {planets}.
Ðey ðen decided ðat ðere should be a difference betƿeen a {planet} and an {asteroid} or {planetesimal}, and redefined {planet} so ðat ðere ƿere nine {planets} and ðe oðers ƿere {asteroids} or {planetesimals}.

Miȝt I suggest "ƿorldlet" or "ƿorldling"?

And noƿ, ƿiþ ðe discovery of so many {Trans-Neptunian} objects, such as Sedna, ðey have once again decided ðat ðere should be a difference betƿeen a {planet} and a {dƿarf planet}, and have once more redefined {planet} so ðat noƿ ðere are eight {planets} and ðe oðers are now {dƿarf planets}. Ðat's ƕy I suggested "dƿarven ƿanderers".


I also þouȝt of þrall, but noƿ I prefer þeȝn. A þrall is never free. A þeȝn, OTOH, ðouȝ in constant attendance, may be a great man if his master is great; for instance a king's þeȝns are cabinet ministers. I ƿould consider Ettin and ðe {Galilean satellites} (or most of ðem) "great þeȝns"; or, at least, any ƿorld-þeȝn as big as or bigger ðan Odin.

Ðe relation betƿeen a "ƿorldling" and a "ƿorld's þeȝn" is like ðat betƿeen a Serene Hiȝness and a Royal Hiȝness, I guess; ðe ƿorldling may not be bigger (in fact may be smaller) ðan ðe ƿorld-þeȝn, but ðe ƿorldling is independent (or raðer depends directly upon ðe Sun) and ðe ƿorld-þeȝn is dependent on a greater ƿorld.



I þouȝt if ðe dƿarf-ƿanderer {Pluto} ƿere named for ðe Anglo-Saxon near-ecƿivalent (if ðere is one) of {Pluto}, perhaps its þeȝn {Charon} could be named for ðe Anglo-Saxon near-ecƿivalent (if ðere is one) of {Charon}.

I also þouȝt of Niddhögg.



Like ðee, I also ƿorried about being too Norse and not enouȝ Anglo-Saxon; ðouȝ as I ƿill soon show ðee.

---

I ƿould like names, too, for historical hypoþetical ƿanderers in ðe Sunnish Setup; in particular for {Vulcan} and {Counter-Earth}.

{Vulcan} ƿas þouȝt to be a ƿanderer closer in to ðe Sun than Odin. A too-Norse name for it ƿould be Logi (not Loki); IMO a more suitably Anglo-Saxon name for it ƿould be Ƿeyland.

Ƿeyland's existence ƿas compatible ƿiþ ðe {Copernican Revolution}. Ðe {Counter-Earþ}, OTOH, ƿas a solution to keeping ðe Earþ habitable in a previous hypoþetical setup.



Þanks! I agree, and I credit it to ðee.

Where is that? Is there a link?

It's tiem for mee too put dhis thread bak on the riet path.

Wee ar taeken on (supposed) too speek Anglish, eand not Old English. -_^

Throa of (reject) dhoaz outlandic werdpaurts (foreign letters) eand kem with (join) the staeyer (rest) ev es.

Shall we not call them 'bookstaffs', like our northernly brethren so fairfully do?

Or by all means, why not 'runes'? That word need not mean one way of writing only. We called our bookstaffs runes back in the days when those were the daily staffs, and as such we may still call the daily way of writing 'runes', and call the old way of writing 'old runes', if we need talk about those. We could also call the older runes 'carvings'.

To show:

• One of the runes that I like to read and write the most is <h>!
• The Icelandic rune <þ> was loaned into the runerow from old northern runes/carvings.

@Visinoid:
The word 'rest' is not outlandish!

First and foremost - I thank thee on the fly, Skogvur The Handlong. Good input!
Though the "rest" of which Visinoid spoke is not from P.Gmc. *rastjo. It is from Romish {restare}. Still, great insight as to the bookstaves and runes, my mind meets yours on that.

Next - to Viszev The Headlong:
The good thing about these kinds of moots is that they are folkships & fellowships.
Therefore put away words of Neediwold and hardsteering.

As long as you can speak/write as you will, and I can speak/write as I will, and others get to speak/write what they will, and our speech lacks Romish and Greekish rooted words, and overbrook of "do", and we all misunderstand it not, so much the better.........right? I mean not to go at the man, mind you, but I will say this. Your writing looks like an inbringing from the English Right-writing thread. Well and good. Mine looks nothing like that, more like Chaucer and Hafronska had a love-child. And I can or cannot noot so-called "outlandish" bookstaves. So mote it be. Rather than look at this as "mine is best and yours is ...(worst?), can we not both see our own smatches and tangs to this thread for what they are, BOTH making it better somehow? Could we not meet our minds and be of one heart on that?
