  • The Old English Wordbook is for gathering words from Old English that did not overlive into Nowtide English, and edstatheling them, by applying to them the litherwisely shifts that Old and Middle English went through to become Nowtide English, and by giving to them a spelling in keeping with that of Nowtide English. This wordbook is vowed to giving new life to these besorrowly forgotten words, words that are worthy of being a deal of our Nowtide English speech. We lath all those kindred with Old English to input to this wordbook, and help richen and lifen the English tongue through, by bringing these words back from forsakenness into uptakeness. A newminder, only words of Old English outspring are to be input here—this wordbook is not for bethinking new words from English roots, which can be done at the "English to Anglish" and "Anglish" wordbooks. For a list of etymological or other abbreviations used in these wordlists, see Forshortenings. /A/ /B/ /C/ /D/ /E/ /F/ /G/ /H/ /I/ /J/ /K/ /L/ /M/ /N/ /O/ /P/ /Q/ /R/ /S/ /Tþ/ /U/ /W/ /Y/ This is a small sample of words from the "Wordhoard" deal of the book, given with the maker's leave. The book is only grounded on true known OE words. It can be found on the web by Googling (heed: Amazon UK has rather more reviews than US); other book by same maker in print is Hastings 1066 - Words We'd Wield if We'd Won (2011) - which is a shortmore phrasebook. On newing English, Cowley's belief is that as much as can be gleaned from the OE motherlode should be sought out and uptimed for potential brookness today. When this is thorough wrapped (and dreamly backed by some kind of academic Board of English experts), mightly (possible) terms for newmore concepts can be tackled with greatmore backup from the roots of the tongue. His main goal however, is getting uptimed words from OE back into mainstream English - that would indeed be an eftnewing of yearve (restoration of heritage). unthildiness n. impatience ungeðyld witherwardly adv. contrarily, adversely wiðerweardlic
