The beginning of this video is priceless and deserves a separate upload for it could go viral. The image of Simon as an optimistic and courageous Englishman trying to do his thing in spite of everything but eventually defeated by unexpected rain, with a big sigh and sad facial expression, is a quintessential Englishness that is seldom caught on film spontaneously, if ever. Thanks for leaving that in!

Your joke dart has landed at a serious bullseye! Many IE languages have cognate words for "cattle" and "money." Lat. _pecunia_ < _pecus_ , "cattle". Eng. borrowed "money" via Normans from L. godess name _Moneta_ , but kept _fee_ , ultimately from O.E. _feoh_ , "cattle." Both descend from the PIE root *pek- meaning "sheep"; there is no reconstructed common PIE root for cattle. I can't recall any PIE language deriving "money" from "horse," tho. It's nearly certain that money has been invented after the PIE-speaking nomads settled and PIE split into multiple branches. Money is a relatively recent invention. Look at the Bronze Age Mediterranean civilization that embraced the western nearly third of the sea's shoreline from Mycenae to Hattuša to Egypt and collapsed in 1200BC. Coastal shipping trade was voluminous, but (oops, I'm trespassing Simon's territory again) no evidence of coinage use has been discovered. Some of these trading kingdoms spoke already well-differentiated IE languages.

The theory suggests that the Satem-Centum distinction of Indo-European languages must be re-evaluated. Also, the eastern dialects of Plattdeutsch, that is the eastern variants of the Low German Saxon dialects had been influenced by the Wends, which is the name associated with the collection of various Slavic tribes inhabiting the regions of present-day Brandenburg, Berlin, Sachsen and parts of Thuringia. These tribes inhabited the area from circa 600 CE to circa 1100 CE, at which point they were absorbed into the Saxon culture and language.

At 7:44. The 'rik' part is likely from the PIE word for a king, which in Germanic languages became the word for the king's domain at some unknown time. But note that it is on the end of the name, not the beginning. This custom, the modifier after the noun, was used widely by Celts, as seen in their king's names in the form 'rix'. Proto-Germanic speakers' southern neighbors were probably Celts, so the custom might be from that contact. If so then Harjarikaz would mean King Harja.

The problem is that the Uralic stress patterns are much weaker than the Germanic; thus, in Uralic languages, there is a greater tendency to leave words uncontracted and inflexions intact, unlike the Germanic case. Likewise, other Indo-European languages (e.g. Italic, and Celtic among others) had also developed root stress, which led to loss of inflexion in the same way.

Fascinating! Tiwaz in the way you pronounced sounds like Estonian taevas (sky, heaven). Tiwaz as the god of Sun has tarted to make sense the origin of word taevas.

Enjoyed the video Simon. Reading Jean Manco's 'The Origins of the Anglo-Saxons' at the moment. I'm never completely convinced by the idea Brythonic Britons discarded their Celtic culture and embraced the Anglian like Teddy boys becoming Mods in 1965-I mean honestly! Cannot imagine small elite warbands could have achieved such linguistic influence swiftly either, so the picture is very complex and variables such as length of acculturation all important. Germanic influence may go back many hundreds of years of course, even prior to Vortigern era. Always interesting, Happy New Year to you Simon. Can I recommend an ex Finnish Army parka.

I am intrigued by the material culture displayed on the chest of drawers. What does it tell us about this high status individual who has been found next to them?

Great video truly, but though "harja" might be considered also as "comb", especially if you are to interpret it equal to example the Finnish word "harja", which actually does mean "brush" in modern Finnish, could as a consideration from earlier borrowed loan-words between the two languages, hence seen as a potential, especially when it's present on a literal comb. As a bit of an potential example at first glace, as the reconstructed Germanic word of "kuningaz" (king) has been partially inspired by its modern Finnish counter part of "kuningas", even if the two languages aren't related, it seems like either languages might have borrowed from each other at times. However, a counter argument of being something else can derive from the word "harja" of being simply "warrior", Harja, or "Harją" (potentially even using the the nasal in one letter), and that's because of especially the factors that the word is more commonly written in some other manner or other of ex. into the few existing runes stones there is in Elder Fuþark today. Another potential for such statement exist in what we still have left from the word itself within multiple different words in our modern tongues of today, names to more simple words, but many of these having a relation still to warrior or army, especially. Harold, Harald(r/ar), Harris, Harry as ex. of names Här: here, (horde)-army (Swedish) Her: army, military (Icelandic, Norwegian Nynorsk) Heer: army (German) Hær: army (Danish, Norwegian Bokmål) Herur: army, military (Faroese) Here: here (English, lol) Hærge: ravage (Danish) Herje: ravage (Norwegian) Härja: ravage (Swedish) Hærger: ravages, harasser(s) (Danish) Herjer: ravages, harasser(s) (Norwegian) Härjare: ravages, harasser(s) (Swedish) Note: the word "warrior" is however referred as "harjaz" by its re-construction, alas the last letter missing from this comb.

That was Jasminum nudiflorum, a winter flowering plant.

@@thurianwanderer last winter we had a couple days where it got down to -32F without wind chill, unusual even for here but it happens occasionally. The leaves fall off the trees mid to late October and we don't see green anything until late April and can get snow as late as mid may although that is unusual.

George Swanson I saw the photos, it’s like the Great Lakes are turning white. Pretty terrible even though I don’t have a shit clue about ferenhaits nor do I know where Minnesota is. Hope you don’t get to endure that again this year.

Thanks Pierre, I'm married to a lovely gal from Yorkshire and a few years back I was on the west coast of Scotland and was astonished to see 10C temps and green things growing in January. Just keep reminding yourself that even though it's damp, it's not Minnesota. Cheers!

The intro in the rain was hilarious!

Oh my. Simon. That was priceless.

Interesting video Simon I have a question though what should the Earth Mother Goddess be referred to in Anglo Saxon Paganism? Should people use the Latinised Nerthus the Proto-Germanic Nerthuz or just refer to her as Earth? Is there a reconstruction we can use of what her name would be like in Old English?

Enjoy your videos.

In Finnish we have many loanwords from Protogermanic. Kuningas - King. Harja - comb, airo - oar, kaunis - beautiful etc.
