I would fain point out that "wlatsome" is forsooth "loathesome" in today's tongue.
And good yuletide to you one and all.

So how does one pronounce "wlatsome"??? Is the "w" silent?? and the "a" short like bat,cat.that??

Found 'poll' is from M L G so we can brook it for elections

So we might use "wielding" instead of government to mean the process of governing,
maybe just "The Wield" instead of "the government" as in "The Russian Wield".
The hurdle is of course that it is not in the dictionary!

We already use "lawmakers" for the people in government, but this doesn't mean the government itself: so .....
beadle, warrantholder, beadledom, swayholder, lawwielding, mightwielder,lawbody,lawwieldingbody,lawmakingbody, swayholdingbody,
oversightbody, guides, warden, lawwarden, guidingbody.
Any other foresets??
We also need words for elections (what happened to waehlen?) and democracy (mobrule is not quite the same, and rule is latinate anyway).

"wield" - found out that this is kin to "walten", "Gewalt", Verwaltigung and such. Somehow we should be able to use this root instead of "govern/government" , which has long been a thorn in the side of true English.

Bemoaning my fate yet again.... "Collocations" is not a word I knew before I started teaching English. It means "Mitwoerter", (I've invented that), that is words which go together such as: afraid of; keen on; succeed in; ask for; and so forth. One of the hurdles to requickening old words is that the collocations do not readily come to mind. We need lots of examples to take in how to use a word.
Anyway, what a pain it is to uncloud this word .... having pointed out the root "locations"
we get to "col". Point out that this is a form of "con", latin for "together" or "with"......and suddenly we're teaching Latin not English! And writing on the board a more English phrase "Placed together", which everyone understands. (OK so place is Normanesque but it's been in English awhile now.) So I come face to face with "Anglish" every day.

"However, I don't think I would teach some of the old words to outlanders. " I agree wholeheartedly. However, where learners are just beginning to read newspapers they are flooded with new wordstock. Truely English stand-in words make it easier for them to get started. Of course, "calibrated" is doubtless in Portugese/Spanish/French/Italian/ & Romanian, but for the rest of the world taking it out is a blessing.
Which begs the ask, why do it all the time??

The other thing is knowing which words are truly latinate when there is no time to check. I'm hoping "link" is good; "scant" like- so many words beginning "sc" is from Norse; but so many such as "task" could be from anywhere. How are people supposed to know instantly????

Today, looking at a news article for students to discuss, I found it overfull of latinate words. So I changed "calibrate" to "link", "revered" to "well-looked-up-to" and so forth.
It is a tricky job to come down on which words to edit out, that is which words are not needed by English-learners at this stage. However the truly hard task is to come up with a better stand-in when there is only ten minutes left before the class starts!

"for" meaning because is still brooked as a conjunction today, although formal. Appears in the the Beatles song hey Jude "For well you know that it's just you...".
The other words in today's usage are "as" and "since", though "since" is quite academic.
