Hú man nemneþ þās sprǽce

[Horsa]

Mé næs eaþe tó wrítanne naman þǽre sprǽce - Is hit nama? is hit
Tōgeīecendlic? Wrēgendlic? Forgifendlic? Nú hæbbe ic heafodece .

Ac ic rǽd on Apollonius Tires, "þæt is on englisc..." ond on "Forword
Ælfríces" (Prefaces by Ælfríc), "þæt Læden and þæt Englisc nabbaþ ná
áne ƿísan on þǽre sprǽce fadunge" ond "þæt Englisc hæbbe his ágene
ƿísan"

Þuslíce is nama þisre sprǽce oftost nama (nh - neuter) ac hƿílum
unbugende (undeclinable). Béo ic riht? Hƿæt þynceþ éoƿ?

[Horsa]

Ic mǽne, hæbbe ic riht? (ic rǽdde efne nú "englisce cwidas")

[Bill Wodenhelm]

Ȝéa, þín ágen cƿide ȝeaf þé þín andsƿar: "þæt
Englisc" ;) Ac þæt ƿord "sprǽć" is ƿífisc.

Þis ealle soþ is - "þæt englisc" hatte se edwislica nama, ond
"englisc" hatte se geicendlica nama. (Ond þæt "spræce" wiflic word
is :-D)

modcræftige hider writaþ niwe. Ic wysce ane þæt ic meahte hider writan
oftor, ac ic næbbe ne tide ne sæl buton to rædenne lyt.

Déorán, hit stent on Ælfríces forword, "sé þe áwent... of Læden on
Enȝlisc" sƿá þú secȝest, ac stent hit éac "we ne durron ná máre
áƿrítan on Enȝlisc". Is forþǽm mé þúhte hit unbuȝende (indeclinable)
ƿæs.

Mé lícaþ hit hƿonne ic secȝe sóð. Hit ȝelimpþ sƿá seldan hƿonne ic
sprece be englisc (englisce? arȝh, heafodece!). Déorca, hƿǽr mæg man
þás stæfcræftigan word findan.
