![]() ![]() ![]() Moreover, -dom is also brooked to betoken a hode of being. In the meaning of -archy/-cracy often follows a nameword and outthrutches something underneath the wield of whom that nameword bewrites as such, -dom isn't always fitting. MARK: It could be said that -archy and -cracy can be awent as -dom, but that doesn't always work. Also 'weald' broadly meant 'control', and 'wealda' broadly meant 'governor, controller', so I don't see this to be much of a leap. This list takes those deals of -weald and -wealda and outstretches them for many words. Why -wield and -wielder? Well, Old English had the word 'ánweald' meaning 'monarchy', and 'ánwealda' meaning 'monarch'. Oh, and -wielding would be what best awends -archic and -cratic. As such, the ending for -archy/-cracy is -wield or -dom, and the ending for -arch/-crat is -wielder. This goes over words I've thought up (alongside one or two witnessed words) to take the steads of words in Anward English ending in -archy/-arch and -cracy/-crat, that is, words anent sundry kinds of wielding and wielders. Yet another chipping away at the mistakes of our forebears. Such as: ‘karma’, borrowed as is and shifting the Norman-French spelling of a word like ‘sugar’ to ‘sucker’ a shape of the word English might have, were England not under Norman yoke when sugar first landed. Where English and its forebears (Old and Middle English) has no word for something, such as a new and foreign concept, we can allow for the utilitarian borrowing, as expected of a natural language, and only nativise the spelling. Such as: ‘wirespel’ rather than ‘telegram’, a coining by William Barnes and we widen the meaning of a word like ‘mote’ to stand in for ‘particle’). Where there is a outlandish coining for something latter-day and inborn (often Latin and Greek, for scientific, or ‘ inkhorn words’), we look upon the Old English-sprung wordhoard (vocabulary) to craft new words. Such as: inborn ‘frith’ instead of French ‘peace’. Where the inborn word died out from being swapped with a borrowed word, we bring back the dead word, from Old or Middle English, in a New English shape. Such as: ‘deer’ to mean any kind of ‘animal’, one of many more French words thrust into English through the Norman overlordship. Where there is an inborn word whose meaning was narrowed or upset by a borrowed word (most often influenced by French, Latin, or Greek) we bring back the inborn word's older meaning. Such as: ‘inborn’ (an Old English build) rather than ‘native’ (a French word thrust into English through the Norman overlordship). Where there are native and borrowed words meaning the same thing, we choose our living inborn words. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.” “He thinks I don't know the ten-dollar words. As Ernest Hemingway once wrote to William Faulkner: ![]() While there are many grounds for Anglish, English words grounded in Old English are often more friendly and meaningful to English-speakers.
