@Hampie I like your message because you found a lot of words.
When I think to power , force or craft I can to say each word have a identity like the signification is different. Examples : 1.Power : A.Power of a politician B.Power of character like power of a superhero of comics. C.Power of a radio signal. 2.Force : A.Force of a person. 3.Craft : A.Like A in force.

Plan, blueprint, power, moment, hymning and proof are all borrowed from Latin or Old French, and according to Wiktionary 'odd' comes from Old Norse. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Yes, but "German" is a Latin word that we are trying to stay away from. In Dutchland (Germany) they speak Dutch, and in the Netherlands they speak Netherlandish. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I think that trying to write in Anglish can also be a helpful way to broaden your knowledge of the English tongue, and learn more English words that we don't say everyday, as well as other meanings of words that we already do use.
byspell: The word "sunder" and words kin to it can get rid of a lot of latin/french words and sayings. -to separate "separate them." sunder them. - apart "Pull them apart" Pull them asunder. -miscelaneous/various items "The box was filled with various items." The box was filled with sundries. - multicolored. "a multicolored shirt" a sundry hued shirt. -various "various people from all over the world" sundry folk from all over the world. other meanings of everyday English words: -Most folk don't know that the word "dear" means expensive or valuable. "That's expensive!" That's dear. -The word fare means to go or to travel. "He traveled to the Netherlands." He fared to the Netherlands. "a traveler" a wayfarer I could go on and on. All of these byspells are lawful new English words and 'usages', however weird they may sound. But if we say them more, they'll stop sounding funny.

You seem to have revived an oldish, but interesting-ish thread.
But (without having read the Wikia or any of those books), I find the concept of Anglish fairly flawed. There was never a pure English language, just a mixture of the various languages of the invading Germanic tribes, mixed with the language of the invading Scandinavian tribes (another flavour of Germanic), and before the Anglo-Saxon-Justes arrived on these shores, we'd had about 400 years of Roman influence, so if anything Latin has a prior claim to be the "English" language more so than "Anglo-Saxon", although of course Brythonic or Brittonic Celtic had a prior claim before that. As a way of studying the interesting process by which English came to be formed, I can see it has some value, but I see no value in trying to define some purely imaginary "pure" form of English. It has never existed. 1 person has voted this message useful |
