The Anglish Moot:Threshold

Old English Wordbook
Hi there, I just short-ago made the Old-English wordbook for edstatholing (restoring) Old English words. I know this is sometimes done on the Anglish Word book and the English wordbook, but the Old English word book is outshutly (exclusivley) set aside for relifening Old English words. It's something I thought this site was missing. Check it out and tell me what you think. :). tocomingotheredoneness 11:52, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Wordbook Formatting
Hey guys, I made a template for wordbook rows as can be seen in English_Wordbook/D. It should prevent misformatting (sometimes the character "-" written without space where it should be and with space where it shouldn't be.

I think the template is pretty intuitive:

Attested and unattested parameter is optional, so you can enter

or

Now, I'm finding out how to tell the template engine to replace a character so user can use semicolon instead of the verbose br-tag

What do you think? --Pyurio 07:34, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Moot Logo
I've made and uploaded a logo for the Moot, as I thought it looked poor that we didn't have one of our own. I'm obviously not a whizz on the design side of things, but I did the best I could. Input and thoughts would be greatly appreciated, even if it is just to say that it looks okay. If there is anybody who can design something much more professional looking, that would be fantastic.

The Anglish Moot:About and What is Anglish?
I've started writing these pages as an introduction to people who drop by here. The What is Anglish? page is now basically finished, so if somebody can take a look at it and give some feedback or make relevant changes, that would be useful. Two minds are always better than one.

The Anglish Moot:About leaf has been partly done, though at the moment it needs a bit more under each of the headings. Do people think the split into three areas given on that page is a good idea? I think it is a good way to describe and outline the intentions for the Moot (though I can well believe there is better). It would be good to have input as this is really important for the direction the Moot will take in the future. Oswax 20:24, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Anglish wordbook
I have put in this section today, in order to being collecting Anglish words together in their own right. It should be really useful, as it struck me as something really lacking here. However, I have tried to do it rather smartly, which I think could give a really good outcome, but also could be hard to use. Feedback, as always, appreciated. Oswax 02:38, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Anglish names
I think we ought to put to work the names of tungs and folks that truly are Anglish (that is, come from Old English (OE) names or roots). As such, we would have Old Northish rather than Old Nordish, from Northway rather than Norway (OE Norðweg, spoken out "northway", wordly "way of the North"), (New) Thedish (the spelling in the OED is "Theidish". on that ground it is better) rather than Teutonish (OE þeodisc, spoken out "thayodish", wordly "tung of the folks"), and so on. Also, the New Thedish wordbeginning ur- should be thrown out of the Anglish tung with the OE wordbeginning or- in its stead (as OE ordal "ordeal"), so we should have or-thedish for English "Proto-Germanic". This is akin to the asking of whether we must throw out, as un-Anglish, words from other Thedish tungs, such as wagon (from Netherlandish) rather than wain (from OE).

Anglish is the anglicized spelling of "Anglysch" (the name for English in Zeaxysch). the native name for the national language of England or Inglelond is "English" or "Inglish", not "Anglish". the name for what referrred to as "English", i.e., "international English", "Global English", "World English", "Modern English" should be "AngloUS" or "Anglonic". what is referred to as "Anglish" is "New-English", or "Inglish", drawing on the native roots of English for its vocabulary.

 * I'm up for naming kiths anew; i called Japanese "Dawnlandish" a short time ago here, although i don't know if that's what you have in mind. --Schreiter 05:33, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * The Old English word þēodisc is spoken as theohw-dish, with two deals, not three, as is Bēoƿulf. And, greetings :) Wōdenhelm 12:44, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Felelight (perhaps) we could also call Anglish "High English," or more Germanically as one word: Highenglish (Cf. Hochdeutsch, Høgnorsk, Háíslenska) --Faxfleet 18:52, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually Beowulf is spoken as two syllables not three.
 * OE g = nowadays y when it comes before e.
 * eo = oo or u or ou (as in you)
 * Thus, geol = yul(e); geong = yeong = young (now maybe yung?) ... BTW, knowing this then it becomes clear that yeoman is the drawing together of yeong+man (now spoken as yo-man). - EinWolf 08 Aug 2011

Yola
I think it would be interesting if Anglish borrowed some Yola words, as I plan to borrow Anglish words for the Yola Wiki. Yola has a largely Anglo-Saxon vocabulary (some Romance words were borrowed from English and French). This Wiki inspired me to start one in the Yola language, it is quite interesting :).

INSTEADERS TO THE WORD 'OVERLIVE' FOR THE WORD 'SURVIVE'

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I would rad against steadsetting the word 'survive' with 'overlive', because 'overlive' already has the meaning of 'to live too much', just as the words 'oversleep', 'overdo', 'overeat', mean, eachownly (respectively), 'to sleep too much', 'to do too much', and 'to eat too much. We must be careful not to sacrifice the clarity and richness of english for 'anglishness'. Using overlive to mean survive would fordo its other meaning (to live too much), or at least create a twomeaningness (ambiguity). As an insteader, may I suggest a seperable prefex verb-'to live out through', e.g. few lived the disaster out through', which, I muist give to, is on the brink of ungrammaticalness, but frankly, nothing else seems to lend itself to the meaning of 'survive.' Take 'to live out' for example-- at first glance it migth seem to work, but it too already has a menaing--' to participate in or live' e.g. 'I lived out the life of a thief for one week.' Any suggestions?

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Gallitrot: I hereby put forward the already living word-blends ' live beyond' / 'outlast' / 'outlive' to shove aside 'survive' ; this would help stop any befuddling that could be shaped through the word 'over', as shown above.

As in: He lived beyond the fight, though, it should have cost him his life/ He outlasted his other siblings/ He outlived everyone else

NB: Lo, another thing, some folk on here are seemingly wanting to be sharp and witty by making new words up (e.g outshut) yet, we already have the sundered-doing-word (separable verb) 'shut out'. I beseech folk not to shift English word-building, which stands much the same as it was before the Norman Overthrowal, only so as to be seen as clever. English was already rather unlike Theodish (German), in the way it built wordthreads(sentences), by the end of the 900's.

Innernet Backleave/Backup? Chat(IRC) Fairway(Channel)?
What would you fellows think of an (IRC channel), that could bestead(serve) many sakes(purposes)? Foremost of all, it could give us better kilter(order, organization) and working together(cooperation), as well as allow a greater spread of talking over(discussion). It could also give us a better feeling of borough-weren(community) and a stead(place) to work out(exercise) our Anglish speaking/writing skills.

(If someone with experience would like to do/start one, that would be great. If not, though I'm not very experienced myself, I could do so.) Let me know what you fellows think! Anglom 13:18, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
