Talk:Widukind

This one made aswell by overbinding from Wikipedia, the original site being: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widukind. I highly recommend this sort of writing, since it forces new words to be made up faster. I've come up with some more suggestions to add to the wordbook: accept vb take in account n writ antagonist n gainstander baptize vb forewash (baptism n forewashing (most likely not the best prefix, now meaning "wash for the future")) character n being Charlemagne name Charles the Great (the only thing uncertain is "Charles". Should it be kept as it is, or changed into "Karl" or something similar (Latin name for him is "Karolus Magnus") chief n leader coat of arms n kinshield (because the definition for the concept in Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary: the family insignia embroidered on the surcoat worn over the hauberk, or coat of mail: the heraldic bearings of a gentleman) continuation n abideness corpse n body depict vb show details n further reading (translation just for this context) district n hundred duke n alderman ( Old English ealdorman (from which modern alderman comes) was rendered in Latin as dux) feast n merrymaking hero n ?  (used known man for now, but didn't come up with anything, maybe brave?) independence n selflawing (this however doesn't make a distinction between "independence" and "autonomy", so an other possibility could be selfmight?) inflict vb lay on involve vb entangle modern adj newer monumental adj great myth folklore/-belief outline vb hint punishment n soreteaching (not the best option) rebellion n uprising region n land relative(s) n kin report n telling research vb knowledge (not the best option) return vb come back revive vb bring something back to life saintly figure n holy man scant adj little spirit n might spirit n ghost/elf state n shire (as in the state of Alabama etc.) subdue vb overcome, quell succeed (in) vb win (in) tomb n grave traditional faith n beliefs handed down trial n finding tribal leader n kinelder verdict n finding I am very much tempted to translate "black" in "black horse" as swart, but I'll restrain myself from doing that :D.
