I ſay ꝥ þe Engliſh tongue ſhould remain cleanſed of needleſs outlandiſh inbringings and borrowings of woꝛds that were brought foꝛþward from oþer lands. Bring back þe tongue of our foꝛe-elders and foꝛekind.

As I would say in Latinate English, I dedicate my time to finding Germanic Words from Old and Middle English that could suit Modern English contexts. Some other words that I use are borrowings from Old Norse, Dutch, or Frisian. Most are obsolete words that died out after Middle English (I focus mainly on Middle English and somewhat on Anglo-Saxon) or words that even survived to the Enlightenment Era. You might find that some words are entirely new words that I created myself. There are two quotes that I would go by that I will post below:

"Bad writers—especially scientific, political, and sociological writers—are nearly always haunted by the notion that Latin or Greek words are grander than Saxon ones" - George Orwell

"English has become a more mongrel speech by the needless inbringing of words from Latin, Greek and French, instead of words which might have been found in its older form, or might have been formed from its own roots and stems, as wanting words have been formed in German and other purer tongues. Thence English has become so much harder to learn, that, in its foreign-worded fullness, it is a speech only for the more learned, and foreign to unschooled men, so that the sermon and the book are half-lost to their minds" - William Barnes

'''Here is þe list of olden ⁊ newly aſhapened woꝛds ꝥ I have beſtowed þe Þede of þe Angliſh Moot. I ſhall gladly beſtow þee wiþ my liſt of words ⁊ meanings (See wordbook for word origins):'''
