The Anglish Moot:Threshold

From The Anglish Moot

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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 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).

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)
