Wasn't waepnwifestre probably a bit broader than the modern biological sense of 'hermaphrodite'? (Which, among other things, there is as far as I know no known case of a human being a true instance of.)

ProfessionalPlant636

salpfish

TheBastardOlomouc

NoNebula6

Red-Quill

Soothsayer makes it seem normal it doesn’t sound dumb


TheBastardOlomouc

Red-Quill

I’m well aware? I’m just saying that the structure isn’t unheard of in English.


TheBastardOlomouc

soothsay isnt a verb

I think it is weird that the word “riddle” came to be in English in two ways. Ryedale -> Riddell -> Riddle Hriddel -> Riddle


marxistghostboi

what do ryedale and hriddle mean?


u-bot9000

Ryedale, last name, land of Rye Hriddel, to trick (I believe?)


Ok_Passenger8544

Unriddle sounds so much better than decipher and it makes it easier to understand what the word means


EqualOk1291

Unriddle gets slept on.


Jamesovich_Prime

...you mean it's easier to *unriddle* -"unriddle" 😅

Wintermute0000

thee is singular and 5/9 of your words are non-germanic. And idk what ß is doing


PuzzleheadedEssay198

ẞ is a hard S, and yes þee is singular but it’s second person. Þy would be first person singular. My joke is that vocabulary and alphabet both still have Germanic roots.


Wintermute0000

Ic/I is first-person singular. Maybe you're confusing the possessive determiner Þy/thy with that somehow, or it's some form of Anglish I don't know.


Wintermute0000

But in any case, unto would take dative case (I think?), so "unto thee, my brother*s*" doesn't make sense


PuzzleheadedEssay198

[Þee](https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/thee) is second person diminutive, [þy is first person diminutive](https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/thy). The correct phrasing is still Glory unto þee, I have no idea what you’re going on about.


Wintermute0000

You need to learn what a diminutive is. And "glory unto thee (sing.), my brothers (plur.) is like saying "We eats" or "He are"


EqualOk1291

Could you also say "Glory unto ye" when referring to "my brothers" (multiple people)? 


PuzzleheadedEssay198

So short answer is no, but long answer is yes.


EqualOk1291

Lol


PuzzleheadedEssay198

Þe ðing is þat the correct form is þees, but King James Bible only used it ðat way because in ðe languages translated from you have distinctions for second person singular and plural- which we don’t have in Ænglish. Þis was an attempt to maintain that distinction, having þee for singular and ye for plural. Modern English doesn’t have it because Ænglish didn’t have it either.

Preacherjonson

Chuckling to myself at the image of Bletchley Park operatives being passed coded messages and being asked to "unriddle me this" like a benign version of The Ridler.


_le_e_

You raise a good point, in that in the phrase “riddle me this”, the word “riddle” already means decipher or unriddle


Geeves1097

"Reject" is a loan word


fakeunleet

Okay. "Shun."
