Sorry, all of You,

I've tried the "eight" , "ought" , "acht", "eigen", "echt", "ächten".- -
-
No one interested at all.

New trial; "Pferd", "Peerd", "Peird", "Paird",  but: "horse" (and
"hengist") in modern English.

What about "pair"? They had to go "pairwhise" at most times!

I don't find any germanic/low saxon origin able to convince me! "HORSE"
seems much older.

Bis denne

Fiete.
