Re: Medieval English Feminine Names
in reply to a message by Pie
I have the Canterbury Tales in Old English. It should be fairly easy to learn since you can understand a reasonable portion of it anyway without knowing much about it!I'll have to look up a book that seems good to get and keep it for my birthday or Christmas list. I have always wanted to study Welsh, too, but hope maybe someday to get a CD-ROM for that.
