A Short Dialogue in Old English: The Hunter and the Traveler

Ойын-сауық

Hello everyone! Welcome to Parchment Lore!
I've been practicing my abilities in writing in Old English, and this short conversation is the result of that practice! The vocabulary, spelling, and pronunciation should align with the Late West Saxon dialect, but I'm certainly not an expert in Old English so there may be errors! Thanks for your patience!
Hopefully this video will inspire you to learn the Old English, also known as Anglo-Saxon, as it is a wonderfully beautiful stage in the history of the English language.

    Note: Hello everyone! This was the result of me practicing my written Old English abilities, and I’m certainly no expert in the language, so there may be errors in grammar or vocabulary! The one line I’m not super sure how to translate was “Sweord is for thegnum”… Maybe it could be “Sweord is tō thegnum”? I’m not quite sure that “for” could mean “fit for…”, but I could be wrong! Anyway, hope you enjoyed the video! If you liked it, be sure to like and subscribe so I know to make more content like this! Wesaþ gē, frēondas, hāle!

    Old english and Modern English are similar in everyday speeches, as in this imaginative speech between the traveler and the hunter

    I heard utlagum and my mind immediately went that sounds like "hoodlum" is there a connection?

    That's a good observation! However, in this case, there doesn't seem to be a connection between those two words... That "-um" ending is just a common Dative Plural suffix, and the base form "utlaga" is the direct ancestor to the English "outlaw"... Interestingly, the word "hoodlum" doesn't have an agreed-upon etymology! It's been attested since at least the 19th century, though... Your guess is as good as mine! Thanks for the question, I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
