Anglish Vocabulary: Time
This is a remake of this video • Anglish Vocabulary: Ti... from three years ago. This version: has fewer misleading claims; skips the silly alternative day names of the original; has better attested suggestions for "moment" and "past".
I forgot to mention there used to be terms like "Wednesnight". Unintuitively, these terms referred to the preceding nights, so Wednesnight was what we'd call Tuesday night.

Interesting! I see a lot of parallels with Dutch, for example: lent > lente harvest > herfst ereyesterday > eergisteren overmorrow > overmorgen And Swedish: stound > stund Just to name a few.
These are great!

I've always liked saying Winterfilleth for Winterfylleþ
What about twilight? The time after the sun has gone down (or before it has come up yet) but it’s not quite dark out yet.

A bunch of words didn't make it into the video, like twilight, whilom, bytime, frist, &c.

@@Hurlebatteif you add this and make 2 videos of 8 minutes pausing, slowlier and with some examples that existed and/or parallels in other germanic languages for sure many will watch them, but it's not your target at all, I guess 😂. Cool summing up!!
Great video once again! Which don't are you using for your videos? I quite like it

Thank thee. The font is named Pfeffer Mediæval.
The word "fortnight" is still regularly used in Australia. Is it not used in your part of the world?

Well, not Hurlebatte, but here’s a response from an American: No. Not even the oldest folks use fortnight anymore.
