  • Thank you for 5000 subscribers! I know we’ve been away for a while but we’re cooking up some new things for you.
    Among them is an Old English textbook I’ve been working on for the past few years: Ōsweald Bera. If you’d like to hear more about the release schedule, the best place to hear about it is my Substack: colingorrie.su...
    In the meantime, here’s an Old English riddle (specifically Exeter Book riddle 33). Can you figure out what the answer is? Leave your guess in the comments!

    As is, I hazard to guess, not uncommon, I started off enjoying some Lord of the Rings (as one does), then ended up listening to Clamavi de Profundis's arrangement of "The Song of the Mounds of Mundburg", then dimly remembered that Rohan was sort of associated with ancient England, so I looked it up and, lo and behold, someone actually DID translate that poem into Old English, so I was glossing over it and realized I had no idea what I was looking at, so I searched 'how to learn old english' in YT and that ended me up on your video about the Lord's Prayer.
    This has brought me to two distinct but related observations: 1. Old English is cool and I wish to learn it; 2. The French ruin everything.

    Congrats, dude. I've been here since you were at 100 subs (so about 2 years I can't remember). Your videos helped me with my conlangs before. I don't do conlanging anymore, but am still interested in natural languages and conlanging topics. Thank you for the help shown in your videos.

    A ferocious storm, maybe? Lightning?

      That was my thought as well, a storm coming in from the sea

    Hope the book gets published soon, best of luck with that :) the next Biiraiverse stream should translate the riddle into one of the conlangs.

    Hello all you lingo learners. UA-cam suggested your videos because I am learning High Valyrian, and having to relearn Grammer. My school was not the best, it was also in the hood. I have come so far learning High Valyrian, but it is a slow and yet fun process. I hope to watch more of your videos. I'll have to buy some more notebooks. Lmao.

    I’ve been watching since conlang with me #1 and enjoyed every second of all of your videos. You hadn’t posted in a while so I checked twitter and saw that you were writing the textbook you showed on stream (Oswald). Congrats! You deserve it!

    Congrats on 5000 subs. I think the answer is "iceberg".

    • @nicolescutismaneanu9087

      It is. =P I think. Something destructive that is borne from water that isn't a wave.

    Congratulations on reaching 6k+ followers!
    Also, the answer to your riddle is not hard to determine, if you think outside of the box.
    Because this riddle deals with something water related (a lot of water imagery here), and I am guessing something destructive caused by water, the only things that could come to mind are either waves or icebergs, and since 'waves' were already mentioned..

    Hi corin, can you review the amarangna language, or sarkic language from SCP Foundation. I have seen an entire website for its history, phonetics, etc but i never seen anyone reviewing it and test if its speakable.
