It's come to my attention that many members when modernising Old English words are not adhering to the respected sound-spelling changes. Now, everyone here knows that when updating a word, that is presently out of use, it is not an exact science. However, there is a basic, respected structure for converting sounds into modern English. Allow me to illustrate: Take the Old English word 'hnǽgan' = to bow down/ bend/ umble, etc... * So, now we have: hnǽg Also lost in modern English is the now defunct 'h' prefix. See also the word 'loaf' originally 'hlaf' in OE * Now we have: nǽg Gallitrot
