Remake of >>1005076, with wording altered based on the advice in @OverlordScorpion ‘s comment.
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while.
Now sometime, I’d really like to try making the G3 theme song in Old English…that’ll be a an even bigger test than >>1221978 was! xD

They were sundered at least a hundred eighty generations ago, possibly two hundred. The Celtic languages are closer to the Italic; two thousand years ago, Proto-Brythonic and Latin may have been no further removed from each other than Romanian and Spanish are today.
I have not, no. I only have Tolkien’s - but I haven’t read that either. xD
Have you ever read the Seamus Heaney translation; and if so, what do you think of it?
That is interesting, considering that Old English and Welsh share almost nothing in common afaik. :) It should be basically German and Norse. :)

In Old English, the prefix ge-, among other things, formed past participles from verbs: sprecan (“to speak”) -> gesprecen (“spoken”). It survived in Middle English as y- before all but disappearing in Modern English, but remains in use in other West Germanic languages like German (sprechen -> gesprochen) and Dutch (spreken -> gesproken)

I have a copy of that on my bookshelf, it’s a translation that was made by Tolkien. :)
Just you wait until I break out the Anglo-Saxon runescript… :P
I don’t know quite what the “ge-” prefix means, but the rest of the word very literally translates as “twofolded”. :)
