Talk:English Wordbook/H

HAMLET: is this word really not acceptable? I mean, I know one COULD say "ham" is a borrowing, but it did exist in Old English (hence tottenham and the ilk). And yes, -let is a borrowing, but it is a pretty damn well borrowed borrowing. I mean, without it, I frankly don't no how (morphologically) we are supposed to express small x (-ling refers to living things, really). BryanAJParry 00:39, 3 Jan 2006 (UTC)
