ノッティンガムにある Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem は 1189年創業とされ、イングランド最古のパブともされる。中英語に遡る ye は þe (=the) が変形したもので、本来は theと発音されるべきものだが、現在では綴りにつられて しばしば yeeと発音される。#古英語・中英語初歩 #英語史 #英語のルーツ

少し遡って8世紀ごろの話から始めましょう。 この頃のイギリスは現在とは全く違う姿をしていた。ローマ軍が引き上げた後のイングランドは土着の民族であるケルト系ブリトン人と、侵入してきたゲルマン系民族アングロ・サクソン人による群雄割拠の混迷とした時代を経た後、最終的に七王国に落ち着く。

ヴィンランドサガってマンガがあったけど、10〜11世紀頃？のイギリスはどんなだったのだろう？ あのマンガの時代背景としては、デーン人（現デンマーク？）と物凄く戦っていたようだけど。

STOP saying “ogre.” That’s from French. The native English word would be “eaten” or “etten,” from Old English eoton, which literally meant ‘one who eats’.

In Old English, a weasel was called a “weosole.” If this word had survived to today, it’d be “weasel.”

The most disquieting fact about Old English: “Beowulf” survives in only one manuscript, and if it had perished like the others, we’d have no idea the poem ever existed. Now think of all the works, just as full of wonders, that are destroyed forever. Beowulf was only a spark.

Can you guess what this Old English sentence says? (Hint: all the words still exist besides the last one.)

This tornado lasted for 39 minutes, had a path length of 31.3 miles (50.4 km), with wind speeds up to 305 mph (491 km/h), killed 32 people, injured 1,150, and caused $250 million in damage (in 1974 USD). Adjusted for inflation, that is $1.63 billion in damages in 2025 dollars.

The Old English for a beekeeper was bēoċeorl, meaning ‘bee-churl’ or ‘bee-man’. This means the Anglo-Saxons might call this girl a bēomæġden, or ‘bee-maiden’.

I saw a little girl dressed up as a bee keeper at trunk or treat AND SHE HAD HER GUINEA PIG IN A TINY PORTABLE CAGE AND IT WAS WEARING A BEE COSTUME.
