How to say ‘weosule’?
12 years ago
‘weosule’ is not West Saxon. It is Kentish, which is a kin dialect. With that in mind....
w - the same as in English
eo - this is like a combination of the short i in pit and oo in pool. This is almost like ‘Ew!’ when one makes the sound in disgust.
s - this is a z between vowels
u - this sounds is like oo in book
l - the same as in English
e - this is weakly pronounced and is the same as a in sofa.
WEO-su-le. The first syllable is strongest.
Have fun! ^.^

now i know where i was messing up at the midsection ^^ *dooks*
And ‘weasel’ in West Saxon is less interesting but easier on the tongue: ‘wesle’.
First ‘e’ is as in ‘bed’
The ‘s’ is again as ‘z’
Last ‘e’ is again as ‘a’ in ‘sofa’.
WES-le
You now know ‘weasel’ in two dialects of Ealdenglisċ! ^.^ //dúcþ//
