And thanks, Ron, for overlooking my "peolpe"... like a true gentleman... my
excuse is that I hurt my right index finger in some barbed wire, and I am a
clumsy typist to begin with...

Sorry about the finger, Gabriele.  I trust you are taking all necessary
precausions.

Folks, yesterday I announced Mike's and my renditions of the wren story into
Middle English verse.  If  any of you have taken a look them or plans to do
so, don't you agree that the language retains a lot of vocabulary and
morphology that makes it rather easy for speakers of Scots and of
Continental Lowlands languages to understand, namely items that in Modern
English are absent or archaic?  Here are some examples:

bynne(n): cf. LS binnen, D binnen, S ben
churl, cherl: cf. LS keyrl, D kerel
earst: cf. WF earst, LS eyrst, D eerst
fader: cf. LS vad(d)er (Fad(d)er), D vader
fare(n): cf. LS varen, D varen, S fare (to go/travel)
ferne: cf. LS veyrn
gare(n): cf. S gar
gloppen: LS glupen
grille, gril: cf. LS gral
herne: cf. LS hoyrn(e)
kindle: cf. LS kind, D kind
mote(n): cf. LS moeten, D moeten, S maun
rygge, rugge: cf. WF rêch, LS rüg(ge), D rug, S rig
uhten-tyd: cf. LS uchten-tyd
umb: cf. LS üm, D om
un-wight: cf. LS unwicht
ware(n): cf. WF warre, LS waren
yerne, gierne: cf. LS geyrn, D geern

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
