Вставка

- 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.
French is a mixture of Celtic and Latin languages.
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.
Looking forward to Oswald Bera! Great OE videos Colin
A ferocious storm, maybe? Lightning?
That was my thought as well, a storm coming in from the sea
Good to hear from you again Colin!
Yay! I've been patiently waiting lololol I can't wait
Hope the book gets published soon, best of luck with that :) the next Biiraiverse stream should translate the riddle into one of the conlangs.
Also check out Jackson Crawford's new textbook on Old Norse which literally just came out.
Always a happy day when Colin uploads!
I miss the biiraiverse streams :) Wish you tons of inspiration writing the book, I know it’s gonna be amazing, and I want to read it already :)
Nice use of the greatest form of punctuation, the double danda ॥ 🙏🏽🙏🏽
looking forward to a book that teaches you all this
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.
Congratulations.
Language is such a fascinating thing.
I’m learning several simultaneously, in addition to what I already know, and man oh man I LOVE IT
Congrats dude!
You're back, big thanks and good luck publishing the book! I was just browsing your channel yesterday, hoping for some new videos.
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".
It is. =P I think. Something destructive that is borne from water that isn't a wave.
Congratulations on the book :)
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..
🎉🎉🎉
Congrats to 5k subscribers! I'm excited for Osweald Bera, definitely going to get it.
A missile?
The answere might be cheese
cheese is always the answer to life's dilemmas
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.
any updates on the book?
