I still think video is all right since it is also a helpful word when dealing with reckoners, but those other words such as "showing" are also good to be kept. Also you are right about the Norse words - they should be kept, not only since they have been about for a long time, but since they are Germanish! They are near enough the same as Old English words, so fit well in English. Old Norse ond Old English were alike enough that both could talk to each other ond understand what the other was saying. Along the same lines, the speakers of both were of the same kin - they were both Germanish folks. So Norse words should be kept. I do not even think of it as a mixed tung like that - since they are more or less two kinds of the same talk.
