Talk:Old English Wordbook

Just a small comment. I'd adear it if you'd give some thoughts on the thoughtlay. I've come to think of some of the sound-losses english underwent as a rather unlucky befalling. It makes for samesound-words, and thus lowers the clearness of the irord, at least spokenly. For bisen, take the word "lítan", "to bend or incline" in Old English. Updated into now-time English, it becomes "lite," which sounds fullthroughly the same as "light", unless you speak Scots in which case you would sound out the "gh." The same goes for the words "wait" and "weight." Another bisen with the dropping of the h in words like "hring" and "hraw". The OE hléoan, to cherish, unluckily in my mind, would be forshapen into lien or leen, sounding fullthroughly the same as lean. Or how about OE réotan, to mourn vs rétan, to delight, comfort, becoming riet/reet or both onefoldly reet. So anyway, I'm onefoldy pointing out that the sound-awending that English underwent leads to a lack of toshedness between OE words sometimes once updated into now-time English.
