(It's hard to tell exactly where the cities of the Rathed?n should be on the larger maps, so if my understanding is wrong please correct it!) :coughs abashedly: The map on the old grammar page was actually just pretty coloured filler- I never expected it to be used by anyone for anything, as such i...

The Spanish do have 'admirals', and their national hero is 'El Cid'. I'm guessing words for 'king' aren't much borrowed (if nothing else, it's likely to already exist), but words for 'emperor' are-- as in English. Note the Germanic and Slavic borrowing of 'Caesar'. For what it's worth, the Slavs al...

It's actually possible that I didn't derive a native word from "ginig" because I didn't like the Adata reflex. However, a native word is probably needed. Given the religious significance of metalworking, I suggest a reflex of Gezoro lo:jaig , which is lo:jai "god" (seen in lo:zera "religion") with t...

Re: Welsh lessons.

Yes. In the south the pronoun is fe/e, but in the north it's fo/o. In the current "standard", either can be used, but in more literary Welsh the correct pronoun is fe.

Flaids == Rautigo?

While I was reading through the Historical Atlas, I came accross this passage: Biologically, the flaids must have diverged from other hominids one or two million years before; we can only speculate what they were doing for all that time. Perhaps they lived among the ilii. And I got to thinking: are ...

As winter is now firmly upon us, I thought I'd share three recipes. All three are warming and comforting, ideal for when it's pissing it down with rain outside and it's pitch black outside at five o'clock. And, having just written all three down, I notice that the three together happily represent my...
