You know the form of language, too, can change.
Within a thousand years, even the words
that were most precious then, seem strange
and foolish to us; yet they spoke them so
and did no worse in love than we now do.

You’d think that would make it easier on me, a German, but I happen to know that the Germanic of Old English is based on the languages of the old saxons and angles, which are the ancestor of today’s Low German which I don’t understand, either lol
