Well hello! My first writ written here. I've come up with some new vocabulary. Feel free to comment and/or correct: archbishop n highbishop base vb found candelabrum n candlestick cathedral n greatchurch chronicle n yorewrit chronicler n yorewrited cite vb tell of correspond(ing) to vb aliken(ed) to concept n thing foreseeded (the source is from Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary, saying, that concept is "thing concieved" and "to concieve" is "to foreseed" in Anglish, so I came up with that in the spur of the moment...) cult image n worshipped build (very vague and unfit) cultural adj kithdomsome (was -some the right suffix to correspond to -al?) design n shape (very vague and unfit) dragon n wyrm (I personally prefer this over "drake", "snake" or "worm" epithet n aputname (could be also written aput-name, but this is only in lack of anything better) enormous adj great identification n likening idol n build (again, very vague and unfit) legend n tale mediate vb bring about (from CTCD) mention vb name (from CTCD) Migration Period name (the) Wandertide neopaganism n newheathenism (is there a suffix to replace -ism?) persist vb go on pillar n stake placename n steadname point to vb bespeak of position n standing relation alikeness relief n outgraving remains nleftovers (remnant is there, but leftover is singular there) retain vb keep (although withhold is officially in the wordbook, the "translation" is wrong, for withhold means to restrain, atleast according to CTCD) sacrifice vb selfbear oneself/offer oneself/holymake/holydo (these options are only for inspirtaion, since the word is too hard for me :) ) significance n (weighty) meaning suggestion n likelihood (from CTCD) symbol n build (very vague and unfit) temple n godhouse (because church isn't the same thing) be transferred to vb be given to transmission vb swapping (just a suggestion) treacherous adj untrothen tribe n kin(dred) triumphant adj won (p. part. of the verb to win) valley n dael venerate, revere vb beawe (not sure of the right prefix) vertical adj upright victory n winning

I have to say I very much object to the translation of association being gild (although I use it now in this article), because "to gild" means "to cover with a thin layer of gold or similar material; make golden.", according to the Chambers: Dictionary of Etmology. Also, if someone could add "separate adj sundry" into the wordbook. Padraig 17.06.2006
