I'm sure some of you are familiar with the Hafronska project. For those
who aren't, you can search their wordlist here:
http://www.hafronska.org/pages/loadlists.php?cat=32
The project is attempting to "purify" already greatly purified
Icelandic. Drawing inspiration from some of their neologisms, I offer
*woþjo (fn.) "sugar" < Go. woþeis 'sweet', based on the Hafronsk
rendering of sæta < Ic. sætur. For others there is of course
*sukkair (na.) Also, after following an interesting etymology of
"ammonia" and "amino", I render "amino acid" thus:
*hairuta-haurna-surjo. But maybe this should be shortened to either
*hairuta-surjo or *haurna-surjo. Hart's horn was from an OE term
apparently, and a chief source once of sal ammoniac. Also, I thought
this post wouldn't be complete unless I had made a word for pepper:
*tugga-stikils (ma.) or perhaps *kusti-stuggeis (mi.pl.). And to please
the rest: *pipair (na.)
