<div>Dear
David,</div>
<div>Â </div>
<div>Subject: LL-L
"Lexicon"</div>
<div><br>Re: How We'd Talk if the English
had WON in 1066 - Some info. on this new<div class="im"><br>book was sent out a few weeks
ago ...<br><br></div>From one who was nurtured in a
tongue unblessed with a Norman-French heirarchy along the way, this subject
tickles me. Let me show a few words in Afrikaans</div>
<div>Â </div>
<div><div class="im">Firstly, some that
leap out as saying what they mean:<br><br></div>1. Afterfollower, meaning
successor. Afrikaans has 'Opvolger' in this case, & for something more
formal 'erfgenaam' = heir. Look up 'eorfgenome' in your Sweet.</div>
<div>2. Bookly, meaning
 literary. (Can't we in ME also use the word 'bookish' here?). Afrikaans
has geletterde, or ongeletterde for literate or the other.<br>3. Workful, meaning active,
industrious. Afrikaans - 'werksaam'.<br>4. Wordhoard, meaning
 vocabulary. I've read this word in use in suitable context in ME. Well,
O.K. so it was C. S. Lewis... Afrikaans - 'woordlys'.</div>
<div>5. Forebusy, meaning
preoccupy. Afrikaans - 'bebesig'. ‘Forebusied with a seekness’
means ‘preoccupied with an enquiry’. Afrikaans -
'bebesig met 'n ondersoek'.<br>6. Outgang, meaning Â
departure, exit. Afrikaans - 'uitgang'.<br>7. Wayleet, meaning
 junction. Well, O.K. Afrikaans 'aansluiting'.</div>
<div>8. Frith, meaning
 peace. Afrikaans 'vrede'. A frith middliand is a peace mediator.
Afrikaans - 'vredebemiddelaar'.<br>9. Onwield meaning authority.
Afrikaans - 'gesag'. Derby se Plaaslike
Gesag'.<br>10. Ore, meaning honour,
respect, favour. Afrikaans 'Eer'. 'Eerewaardigheid' = respectability',
'oneerlik' = dishonourable. </div>
<div>Â </div>
<div>Yrs,</div>
<div>Mark.</div></div>
