1) Gadzooks, 'twas but a merry making, a play on the laws of Anglish, in which words with *helio(s)- would be crosswritten as sun-! No need to teach your eldmother to suck eggs; I am learnèd enough in old lore, I know of helios and Helios!
2) Anglish is not about ridding English of all ellendish words. It is about ridding it of words brought by those of the old southern overkingdom and of the tongues that came from their speech. The Dutch tongues, being brothers of Anglish English, are fine to borrow from.
3) What meanst thou? What of them would you like to know? :)

1) Names don't need translation.

2) Wallis is wallis is wallis, so no Dutch.

3) You can't just say "what do you mean?" that sentence has entirely native words after all, anyway I mean loan words borrowed from speaks where those words were loan words from English.

1) I know; as I have already said, it was a joke, for goodness' sake!

2) Anglish as I understood it was about getting rid of Romance and Greek roots and focusing on an entirely Germanic languages. Getting rid of all foreign borrowings would be an arduous job! If you choose to not use anything but Anglo-Saxon, that is your prerogative; I choose the less restrictive approach of all West Germanic sources being appropriate if and only if there is not an Anglo-Saxon derivation; this approach is more common in the movement as I understand it.

3) Yes, you can, but since folk were talking about introducing older structures in this thread, I was playing along.

What should one do with words that were borrowed from Latin or Greek in Anglo-Saxon or First-Germanish* times? (Like 'church' and 'street'.)

*or First-Dutch perhaps

The Anglish lore I follow says that walsh words borrowed into Anglo-Saxon (Old English) from Latin and others are fit to be kept in Anglish (words like 'mill', 'rat', 'mouse', and 'cup' are all such words).

Or you can come up with words like Asania did.

Mouse is not one of those words.

church = Godshouse, hallowhouse, house of the holy (ZOSO!)
street = way, road

In his Pure Saxon English, Molee keeps "church" and "strit", though he switches Thrugang for "avenue".


I think the Gothic "Kelikn" might link up with our word "church", so the word "church" is sufficiently Germanic.

"Street" I will not handle.

I like the ring (sound) of hallowhouse.

I ſaid ƿay.

ƿell noƿ, ſo for ſooth ðou ſaideſt it firſt. I becƿeaþ it to ðee.

"Mouse" and "muscle" have the same root? That is mawthrowing (disgusting). I was going to say "mawturning", but then I found that "turn" is ellendish. This word was also borrowed into Old English, so it's all right, but I uphold greater nute of "throw", which is a good Anglish word.

ſ is only written when it's not the first sway (sound) of a wrixlebit (morpheme) or a root.

Thus,

ſo should be so,
ſooth should be sooth, and
ſaideſt should be saideſt.

Long s is used everywhere but at the end of a word.

'Church' comes from First-Germanish, which borrowed it from Greek. 'Lordhouse' is nearest to the Greek word in meaning.

Is there a more Anglish word for 'Greek', or can we borrow the names of other tongues?
