Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water.
And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes
you cannot even breathe deeply, and
the night sky is no home, and
you have cried yourself to sleep enough times

nothing is infinite,

You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day
you are going to find yourself again.
-Finn Butler
65%: siextiġ fíf hundreddǽlas, ‘sixty five hundredparts’
2%: twám hundreddǽlum. ‘Hundreddǽlas’ is ‘hundreddǽlum’, in the dative case, because it follows the preposition bútan ‘but’.
‘Þú áspendest eall bútan...’ (‘You spent all but...’) is used to translate ‘You are down to...’.
‘Ġemétan’ means ‘to meet’ as well as ‘to find’ and ‘to happen upon’.

Video of an Animated Flag for Ludwig
Posted 12 years agoA flag of ludwiggoff’s Province of Hearthwin, that I have worked for some long while in Blender. (I do hope that this is of the Province of Hearthwin, as I’ll be very ashamed if I have the name wrong!) It is not exactly as I wanted, but I think that this is good enough to display to everyone, and especially to Ludwig. ^.^
I did use a drawing of a medal that Ludwig had done to make the emblems that this flag should have.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQDIJ7qmfac This video was a great help to me. I hope that this animation does seem OK from this beginner of 3D animation.

How to say ‘weosule’?
Posted 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! ^.^

Eác, Weosule on Weasylan / Also Weasel on Weasyl
Posted 12 years agoHwæt ġewearþ þǽre weosulan? What happened to the weosul
Posted 12 years agoIn short, I had lost £600 that I had taken from a guest. I had to repay that sum or else I would lose my employment. I had been saving up to visit ludwiggoff but this broke my plans. I fell into depression all of the while of my absence because I felt that I had failed him/you, and I withdrew. ;_;
And that is the shortest of the shortest that I can shorten that shortly. ^.^
With that aside, I wish to be more active online again. The internet would not after all thrive long without even one of its many weaselkind users. ^.^

The Yuletide draws near...
Posted 13 years ago...and I have changed my user icon. I wrote the words in futhorc, the runic letters of early Anglo-Saxon times.
That is to say, ‘Merry Yule’!
Soon is the time that we sing to the ivy and the holly, to the firs and to the apple orchards. Soon is the time that we get ourselves properly cidered up, that we go a-wassailing from house to house. Soon is the time that we ready the halls, that we ‘sacrifice’ the Yule goat and Yule boar for the feast. Soon is the time that we come together in body or in spirit, that we remember and that we share, that we celebrate life with great gladness and glee during the shortest of nights.
Soon ends the old year and begins a new year.

Word Dæġes: Cúþa
Posted 13 years agoWest Saxon has a word, cúþa. It is a useful, general word because it means someone whom you know to any degree. It is a word that can be used for a close friend, for a casual acquaintance, or for a cherished companion.
I like this word because it is more accurate than friend that sites like FaceBook or LiveJournal use. It weakens that word. You—I am generally speaking and not directly at anyone here—are not a freónd (friend) if I only know you from a few lines of online dialogue or if I only in person twice or thrice met you. You however are a cúþa—and there is no wrong with that—but not a freónd. Freóndsċipe (friendship) requires time, effort, and understanding. It is earned. Cýþþu (familiarity) with someone is easier. Freóndsċipe may spring from cýþþe, but they are not the same.
I do wish to end this entry to say that I am honoured that I have as many good cúþan who are here watching me at this site as I do have.
Iċ swíþe þancie eów, míne cúþan, míne fylġendas. Maniġe dúcas eów, and wesaþ tóþuniende.
(I greatly thank you, my acquaintances, my followers. Many dooks to you, and stay awesome.)

Ælmesse (eald leóþ) - Alms-giving (old poem)
Posted 13 years agoÞeáh iċ neom crísten iċ ġiet brúce þisses leóþes.

Wel biþ þám eorle þe him on innan hæfþ —

And for ússum Dryhtne, dóma selast
Efne swá hé mid wætre, þone weallendan

It will be good for the noble man who within him has —
The just-minded man — a great heart,
That he will have in regards to the world the greatest of *honours
And before our Lord the best of judgments.
Just as he with water, the raging
flame may quench, so that it no longer can,
bright burning, cause damage to cities,
So does he with alms-giving altogether *removes
The wound of sins, (and) heals the soul.
*rúm literally means roomy, spacious but also figuratively means great, noble, liberal, unrestricted.
*weorþmynd is usually taken to mean honour, but the full meaning is more complex. weorþ means worth, (of things) value, (of people) worthiness, and -mynd is from ġemynd which not only means the mind but also that which is remembered, memory, memorial, commemoration. So weorþmynd means an honour that is more a commemoration of one’s worthiness.
*tósċeófan literally means to shove or to thrust to different directions, to disperse, to scatter but also figuratively means to remove, to do away with.

Stæfcræft Dæġes - Grammar of the Day
Posted 13 years agoVerbs in the present tense usually end with the following:
-e, -st, -þ, -aþ
helpan - to help
iċ helpe | I help/am helping
þú hilpst | you help/are helping
hé, heó, hit hilpþ | he, she, it helps/is helping
wé, ġé, hié helpaþ | we, you, they help/are helping
lufian - to love
iċ lufie | I love/am loving
þú lufast | you love/are loving
hé, heó, hit lufaþ | he, she, it loves/is loving
wé, ġé, hié lufiaþ | we, you, they love/are loving
lǽran - to teach
iċ lǽre | I teach/am teaching
þú lǽrest | you teach/are teaching
hé, heó, hit lǽreþ | he, she, it teaches/is teaching

hé, heó, hit ċiést (from ċiés’t, from ċiés’þ, from ċiéseþ)

Sometimes nouns look similar to verbs
cossas - kisses (noun, plural, nominative), from coss - a kiss
cossaþ - (third person (he/she/it) present verb), from cossian - to kiss
This is because some verbs are made from nouns.
lufu (love, noun) + -ian = lufian (to love)
coss (kiss, noun) + -ian = cossian (to kiss)
EDIT
Though cossian was later replaced by cyssan, which in turn became kissen in Middle English and then kiss in Modern English
cyssan - to kiss
iċ cysse
þú cyst (from cyss’st, from cyssest)
hé, heó, hit cyst (from cyss’þ, from cysseþ)
wé, ġé, hié cyssaþ

Stæfcræft Dæġes / Grammar of the Day
Posted 13 years agoIn English one makes gerunds (verbal nouns) and present participles (verbal adjectives) when one adds -ing to a verb. Wrestling may either mean the act of wrestling itself (gerund) or describe someone or something that is wrestling (present participle).
In West Saxon one makes gerunds when one adds either -ing or -ung to a verb, but one makes a present participle when one adds -ende or -iende to the verb.
Gerund
Wrǽstlung is gamen.
Wrestling is a sport.
BUT
Present Participle
Seó wrǽstliende wesle is strang.
The wrestling weasel is strong.
One may wonder when one uses -ing or -ung for gerunds, and when one uses -ende or -iende for present participles. This is truly easy!
When West Saxon verb ends in -ian then one uses -ung for gerunds and -iende for present participles.
wrǽstlian, wrǽstlung, wrǽstliende
to wrestle, wrestling, wrestling
OTHERWISE
One uses -ing for gerunds and -ende for present participles.
lǽran, lǽring, lǽrende
