Do you mean you decided to stop distinguishing possessive clauses? (abolish sounds a bit formal in English.)

I've started two Google Docs about West Saxon's history. One has West Saxon sound changes (with dialects!). The other is about how the pronouns develop, and has a lot of tables. Both are really incomplete, but work is being done!

I've written a lot of nonsense in it, but it's not become easier. I need to think a lot, and I need a dictionary, when I want to write in it.

I don't know what to write. I'm at home alone (for work), and I just read the first page of The Hobbi out loud. It sounds nice.

I know it's not an English word. In Kunesian it doesn't really make sense either, at least not like that, but I wrote "make white".

Ah, oc. Mè dis 'whitewash' èt s'angolua per dei nè dobro fõti describare.
Ah, okay. But one normally says 'whitewash' in English for things that aren't as innocent...

(Explanation in English: The term "whitewash", at least how I've encountered it, is very commonly used in the sense of "cleaning up" a history or narrative to edit out the unsavory details, so one would describe a, for example, whitewashed history book. You really wouldn't say that you're going to "whitewash" a wall. It's in a bit of a similar vein to "propaganda", where it, at least in the US, has fairly negative connotations that are not there in other languages.)
