Englished

[wolf63]

I came across a book yesterday that had the word 'Englished' in its title.  The word was used to indicate that it was a translation into English.  The book was an 1899 reprint of a much older book.

Has anyone else come across this word?

that is because you are not old enough, Barr'

If you look at the script, they have "writeth" and 'did put' as a simple aorist.

Shakespeare I rate it as - 1600-1625 - KJV speak

We did this on the site - looking at the text alone and trying to date a document from that

05:56, you've already been Anglicised me old china, that is why all your cities use the English names. Edinburgh for example should be Dunedin.
