[edit] Needs more work

This page needs more work, particularly on the meanings and origin of Old English words. For instance, I think "(wild)hænn" and "(wor)hana" would likely mean "hen" and "rooster", but there are a lot of words I'm unsure of. 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * 15:00, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] references

The article's references could benefit from better formatting. I got started, but it is not finished yet. Interesting article! Guroadrunner 04:47, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Andwurde verb or noun?

Isn't andwurde/andwyrne the noun form, and not the verb form, as it appears now? If someone knows his/her styff, I think it could be clarified and simplified. (As for now, the German and Dutch cognates are nouns, the verbs are antworten and antwoorden.) 惑乱 分からん * \)/ (\ (< \) (2 /) /)/ * (talk) 22:52, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removed warfare section

I saw no reason for wīg to have its own section, so I moved it into Miscellaneous and removed the warfare section. Delduþling♦talk 02:05, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
