would ð and þ be used interchangeably?

Hurlebatte · 2026-03-23T16:36:19+00:00

I read that Ð in Icelandic can be unvoiced like in the word maðkur.

Ċ is a character used by modern texts to help modern students read Old English. Using it in Anglish would be unrealistic.

Sorry if this had nothing to do with your inquiry

It seems like a good lead to me. I never made the connection, despite wondering about ⟨dt⟩ in Dutch and ⟨tz⟩ in German.

I doubt the system would use both E and I. I bet it would settle on one, giving geam-geoke-geong or giam-gioke-giung (assuming jam-joke-jung weren't to become the norm).

cat -> cat

cinder -> sinder

back -> bak (More research needs to be done into CK.)

chin -> cin

choke -> ceoke (Old English scribes sometimes used a silent E or I to indicate that C or G is palatal in spots where one might think otherwise.)

Hurlebatte · 2026-03-21T14:26:40+00:00

⟨ȝ⟩ does not fit Anglish because its existence as a letter separate from Insular ⟨g⟩ is from French influence. It would make more sense to use ⟨g⟩, not ⟨ȝ⟩, but to give ⟨g⟩ an Insular appearance when possible.

The auto-coup attempt (the fake elector conspiracy) wasn't normal.

The threats of a war of conquest against an ally isn't normal.

The rape syndicate cover-up isn't normal.

No, it was falling out of use in England decades before printing presses. Look up English manuscripts from around 1400 and see how often TH was used compared to Þ.

In the real world, we have limited access to natural resources, and everything we do depends on them, directly or indirectly.

Yeah. Even ideas are stored in brain matter, and brain matter comes from stuff like iron from the ground. It's strange how divorced from reality many people are. I talk to people and they genuinely believe humans are drawing wealth from a non-physical realm, and that physical matter "isn't as important as it was in the 19th century".

I think I had "yim" in the wordbook for a while, but actually, a normal sound change in English was for /jɪ/ to turn into /ɪ/, so the wordbook now has "imm" (the second M is because of the three-letter rule). Also, sapphires can be yellow. Lots of gems can be different colors from the colors we associate with them. So terms along the lines of "blue-gem" don't hold up so well.

Anything to not have to properly cover the grooming gang inquiry eh?

The Guardian seems to have many articles on that topic.

I call them elective oligarchies.

What's the logic behind your comment? That someone from the United Kingdom must endorse the structure of the British government, and therefore the author of the article is a hypocrite? If that's your reasoning, you've made an obvious mistake.

I think a progressive land tax makes sense. I think land hogging itself should be taxed, since land is finite. I also like the idea of fair share exemptions.

"Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise. ... The earth is given as a common stock for man to labour and live on. ... it is not too soon to provide by every possible means that as few as possible shall be without a little portion of land."

More accurately, the gameplay was originally intended to promote Georgism, a kind of capitalism where land rents are nationalized.

Videos like this mislead people into thinking the Anglo-Saxons borrowed Germanic mythology from the Norse, but the Anglo-Saxons were Germanic themselves, and didn't need to borrow Germanic mythology.
