Can't see Anglish mentioned without bringing up Uncleftish Beholding which is a, hear me out, short treatise on atomic theory written without using French, Latin and Greek loan words*.
It's meant in part to illustrate how many of them there are in English, particularly in academic fields, e.g. "atomic" and "theory" which are replaced with the calques "uncleftish" and "beholding".
It starts as follows; crossed out annotations added by me to either translate or just show where we'd commonly use another, non-Anglish-compliant word.
For most of its existence being, mankind did not know what things are made of, but could only theorise guess. With the growth of science worldken, we began to learn, and today we have a theory beholding of matter stuff and energy work that observation watching bears out, both in the workplace workstead and in daily life. The underlying kinds of matter stuff are the elements *firststuffs*, which combine link together in various sundry ways to give rise to the rest. Previously Formerly we knew of ninety-two elements firststuffs, from hydrogen waterstuff, the lightest and barest, to uranium ymirstuff, the heaviest. Now we have created made more, such as neptunium aegirstuff and plutonium helstuff.
Mostly though I just think it's a fun read. You can find it all over the internet if you search for it.
*there's a few where using the original English term would be unhelpful, as it was so completely replaced by something from French no one would have the faintest idea what it meant. E.g. even I didn't know what the fuck "umbe" would mean: it means "around", and also it is pronounced "um".
#gods I love Anglish#it's always so fun to read#brain goes brrrrr#because while some words have shifted meaning significantly like 'deer'#it mostly uses modern forms#I could go on about even just how like 'atom' means 'cannot be split' hence 'uncleft' or how 'theory' is originally from like 'I see'#or how 'waterstuff' for hydrogen is based on the German Wasserstoff

Uncleftish Beholding
For most of its being, mankind did not know what things are made of, but could only guess. With the growth of worldken, we began to learn, and today we have a beholding of stuff and work that watching bears out, both in the workstead and in daily life.
The underlying kinds of stuff are the firststuffs, which link together in sundry ways to give rise to the rest. Formerly we knew of ninety-two firststuffs, from waterstuff, the lightest and barest, to ymirstuff, the heaviest. Now we have made more, such as aegirstuff and helstuff.
The firststuffs have their being as motes called unclefts. These are mightly small; one seedweight of waterstuff holds a tale of them like unto two followed by twenty-two naughts. Most unclefts link together to make what are called bulkbits. Thus, the waterstuff bulkbit bestands of two waterstuff unclefts, the sourstuff bulkbit of two sourstuff unclefts, and so on. (Some kinds, such as sunstuff, keep alone; others, such as iron, cling together in ices when in the fast standing; and there are yet more yokeways.) When unlike clefts link in a bulkbit, they make bindings. Thus, water is a binding of two waterstuff unclefts with one sourstuff uncleft, while a bulkbit of one of the forestuffs making up flesh may have a thousand thousand or more unclefts of these two firststuffs together with coalstuff and chokestuff.
At first it was thought that the uncleft was a hard thing that could be split no further; hence the name. Now we know it is made up of lesser motes. There is a heavy kernel with a forward bernstonish lading, and around it one or more light motes with backward ladings. The least uncleft is that of ordinary waterstuff. Its kernel is a lone forwardladen mote called a firstbit. Outside it is a backwardladen mote called a bernstonebit. The firstbit has a heaviness about 1840-fold that of the bernstonebit. Early worldken folk thought bernstonebits swing around the kernel like the earth around the sun, but now we understand they are more like waves or clouds.
In all other unclefts are found other motes as well, about as heavy as the firstbit but with no lading, known as neitherbits. We know a kind of waterstuff with one neitherbit in the kernel along with the firstbit; another kind has two neitherbits. Both kinds are seldom.
The next greatest firststuff is sunstuff, which has two firstbits and two bernstonebits. The everyday sort also has two neitherbits in the kernel. If there are more or less, the uncleft will soon break asunder. More about this later.
The third firststuff is stonestuff, with three firstbits, three bernstonebits, and its own share of neitherbits. And so it goes, on through such everyday stuffs as coalstuff (six firstbits) or iron (26) to ones more lately found. Ymirstuff (92) was the last until men began to make some higher still.
It is the bernstonebits that link, and so their tale fastsets how a firststuff behaves and what kinds of bulkbits it can help make. The worldken of this behaving, in all its manifold ways, is called minglingken. Minglingers have found that as the uncleftish tale of the firststuffs (that is, the tale of firststuffs in their kernels) waxes, after a while they begin to show ownships not unlike those of others that went before them. So, for a showdeal, stonestuff (3), glasswortstuff (11), potashstuff (19), redstuff (37), and bluegraystuff (55) can each link with only one uncleft of waterstuff, while coalstuff (6), flintstuff (14), germanstuff (22), tin (50), and lead (82) can each link with four. This is readily seen when all are set forth in what is called the roundaround board of the firststuffs.
When an uncleft or a bulkbit wins one or more bernstonebits above its own, it takes on a backward lading. When it loses one or more, it takes on a forward lading. Such a mote is called a farer, for that the drag between unlike ladings flits it. When bernstonebits flit by themselves, it may be as a bolt of lightning, a spark off some faststanding chunk, or the everyday flow of bernstoneness through wires.
Coming back to the uncleft itself, the heavier it is, the more neitherbits as well as firstbits in its kernel. Indeed, soon the tale of neitherbits is the greater. Unclefts with the same tale of firstbits but unlike tales of neitherbits are called samesteads. Thus, everyday sourstuff has eight neitherbits with its eight firstbits, but there are also kinds with five, six, seven, nine, ten, and eleven neitherbits. A samestead is known by the tale of both kernel motes, so that we have sourstuff-13, sourstuff-14, and so on, with sourstuff-16 being by far the most found. Having the same number of bernstonebits, the samesteads of a firststuff behave almost alike minglingly. They do show some unlikenesses, outstandingly among the heavier ones, and these can be worked to sunder samesteads from each other.
Most samesteads of every firststuff are unabiding. Their kernels break up, each at its own speed. This speed is written as the half-life, which is how long it takes half of any deal of the samestead thus to shift itself. The doing is known as lightrotting. It may happen fast or slowly, and in any of sundry ways, offhanging on the makeup of the kernel. A kernel may spit out two firstbits with two neitherbits, that is, a sunstuff kernel, thus leaping two steads back in the roundaround board and four weights back in heaviness. It may give off a bernstonebit from a neitherbit, which thereby becomes a firstbit and thrusts the uncleft one stead up in the board while keeping the same weight. It may give off a forwardbit, which is a mote with the same weight as a bernstonebit but a forward lading, and thereby spring one stead down in the board while keeping the same weight. Often, too, a mote is given off with neither lading nor heaviness, called the weeneitherbit. In much lightrotting, a mote of light with most short wavelength comes out as well.
For although light oftenest behaves as a wave, it can be looked on as a mote, the lightbit. We have already said by the way that a mote of stuff can behave not only as a chunk, but as a wave. Down among the unclefts, things do not happen in steady flowings, but in leaps between bestandings that are forbidden. The knowledge-hunt of this is called lump beholding.
Nor are stuff and work unakin. Rather, they are groundwise the same, and one can be shifted into the other. The kinship between them is that work is like unto weight manifolded by the fourside of the haste of light.
By shooting motes into kernels, worldken folk have shifted samesteads of one firststuff into samesteads of another. Thus did they make ymirstuff into aegirstuff and helstuff, and they have afterward gone beyond these. The heavier firststuffs are all highly lightrottish and therefore are not found in the greenworld.
Some of the higher samesteads are splitly. That is, when a neitherbit strikes the kernel of one, as for a showdeal ymirstuff-235, it bursts into lesser kernels and free neitherbits; the latter can then split more ymirstuff-235. When this happens, weight shifts into work. It is not much of the whole, but nevertheless it is awesome.
With enough strength, lightweight unclefts can be made to togethermelt. In the sun, through a row of strikings and lightrottings, four unclefts of waterstuff in this wise become one of sunstuff. Again some weight is lost as work, and again this is greatly big when set beside the work gotten from a minglingish doing such as fire.
Today we wield both kind of uncleftish doings in weapons, and kernelish splitting gives us heat and bernstoneness. We hope to do likewise with togethermelting, which would yield an unhemmed wellspring of work for mankindish goodgain.
Soothly we live in mighty years!

I don't understand why you are acting like this, Kuro. As someone who already probably ate glass, an evolved form of sand, and sand itself, I can say that I am 100% sure that sand is good AND healthy to people, like, I didn't die, and what's the worst that can happen? Eat parasite eggs by accident? OH please.

(Some kinds, such as sunstuff, keep alone; others, such as iron, cling together in chills when in the fast standing; and there are yeards of great chalks, called mounds, and all sorts of things which are all at once great.)Some of these unclefts have been made by way of magic; but it is certain which is the most convenient way to make, and to keep on its side a very good, clear-looking, good, hard-bound copy.All these unclefts are used so that, like other uncleftations, they contain only the best wholes, so that none can touch it with an old wooden tool.This uncleft is often called a stone or other thing that has been made from earth. It was made by a man called Cushan from the same root as the water of the sky, and it was said to be great, clear, solid, well-stressed, etc. This uncleft is often called any of the unclefted water in the neighbourhood of the sky, and its shape is much like the shape of a rock.For the same reasons, I mean that, like other uncleftations and any unclefted water, unclefted water has all the advantages necessary to keep together. This is its best characteristic. A stone or thing made from earth may be put on an uncleft, but it will keep together as if it were made of iron alone, except for some stones which are so long that they will break without being able to be broken.A stone would fit any stone to the shape of an arm or hand, except those that are so long as it is made of iron alone. This will prevent that stone from being put on a piece which is a part of a larger piece or two.So what about the wood of a stone? What is the shape? What makes the wood? Can the wood be wood? Is there a solid wood in it? The answer is no. A solid wood is a type whose shape is determined by temperature and pressure. If the wood is made from molten metal, it is only the very best quality, and is not a natural thing. The wood of an unclefable stone is an excellent natural wood, a form to be looked after in every house, and the only thing which a stone cannot give me any other answer than that it is from fire and water. A solid wood is an excellent natural wood, as well as the most precious as any other stone. But it has been reported that it has not preserved its shape well for more than six months, and if it had, it

I wanna know everyone's 26 and 27 pls
Sure thing, my friend!
26) Guilty pleasure.
Boreal- Take breaks during his missions every so often to visit half-siblings, spend time with his bf and friends or just play with a street cat.
Gýro- He enjoys scaring Reaper by 'accidently' leaving undead or ghosts walking around the house.
Contrast- Uh... None?? Why would he feel guilty over watching several universes crumble for the plot of others without moving a finger? Silly.
Fade and Rise - Oh. They like to torment Cross with several cow accessories.
Cranberry - 'lil criminal steals cookies or sweets from the jar when no one's watching. She should be arrested already.
27) Family relationships and who's in it.
Boreal: NightKiller family so Nightmare, Killer and all kids from them together or a part. Shortening the list, he's closer to those of his siblings that grew up with him or visit a lot. Particularly fond of the younger ones, he really enjoys helping them out with training instead of Nightmare or the gang. He knows those can't restrain sparring to child-safe-level so well by experience. He's constantly worrying about his siblings but won't say that out loud.
His relationship with Nightmare is of absolute loyalty the kind that wouldn't question an order to a suicide mission if given to. Other than that he's oddly polite with NM as if talking to his superior rather than father. They don't chat much for fun, but NM values his opinion on plans and battles tactics, sometimes they're seen together playing chess or just reading in comfortable silence. Killer is more of a fun parent, he's much more relaxed around him than with Nightmare. Same with the rest of the gang, whom he also won't admit, are considered family. He would die before letting anything happen to any of them. Very protective.
Gýro: AfterDeath family, Reaper, Geno and all kids of this group. His relationship with them is... Almost non-existent. 'Tibia' honest, he basically runs away from Reaper whenever there's the slight chance of them meeting, both are very awkward towards one another and won't be able to sustain a conversation, which, let's be honest, is a scenario anyone would like to avoid.
With Geno things are much better. He trusts the AfterTale skeleton deeply and values every chance he has of having his full attention guiltly - he doesn't think it's fair for him to take his mom's time when he has so many other siblings who probably want it -, Geno always knows when something's up with him and it frustrates him that he can't find time to understand what.
He avoids his siblings like the plague. Not that he hates them or anything, he loves them and would literally die for any, should he have to, but he's afraid of what they think of him after the whole Necromancy thing. Do they even consider him as their brother anymore? Over-thinking gets the best of him so he doesn't really wanna find out the answer to that.
Contrast: Errorink family, Error, Ink and the kids from this bunch. He lives in the anti-void with Error and they're what most people- Contrast thinks - would call close. Even though he can't feel for real and whenever the code pieces he stores in the rings of his scarf run out in that void he becomes emotionless, Error seems fond of him and even protective, the reason to Contrast is unknown. He looked up to Ink a lot when growing up, even tho the artist was a bit air-headed when it came to parenting, probably for being another souless being. Everything from the personality he acts on to the outfit he wears are the result of years of being Ink's copy-cat. The major difference of him from any of his parents is that, despite admiring their importance in the balance, the glitch rather keeps his alignment neutral instead of following in either footsteps.
His relationship with his siblings is... odd. Most find it rather weird having a brother like Contrast, always talking as if life was just a big video-game or something, and never entirely trustworthy. He also has no particular interest in bonding with his siblings, so the effort on his part is almost non-existent. He has no trouble starting conversation and being around them, but don't expect him to be protective or attached to most.
Fade and Rise: Cream family, Cross, Dream and all kids from this ship. Their relationship with their parents is great, they really admire the two of them, oddly enough, each twin has one who's #1 hero. For Rise that would be Cross and for Fade, Dream. They unfortunately don't spend this much time together at home because of their jobs - both parents are workaholics - but treasure dearly the moments they got.
About their siblings, their realtionship is good. Not amazingly close, they rather stay with each other, but good. Whenever they meet at home or the Multiverse, they have no difficulty starting a conversation or doing stuff together, that also inlcludes half-siblings and even cousins. They also generally consider the rest of the Star Sanses and Epic as being cool uncles or something.
Cranberry: Cherryberry family, Fell, Blue, Stretch, Edge, (UF x US Sans and their bros ) and all kids from the first two. Her relationship with basically everyone in her family is great! She lives in Underswap and grew to have Blue and an idol, but she thinks highly of her entire family. Loves to help the Underswap skeleton with puzzles or coooking, and loves playing pranks with her uncle Stretch. In Underfell when she goes spend some days with her dad, enjoys chatting and coming up with new games, as well as sparring with her uncle Edge. She's a little ray of sunshine really.
About her siblings, being completely honest she doesn't know many. Going usually just around Underfell and Underswap, and this ship not having many fankids, she has no way of meeting the out-code side of her family. But the few she got to meet when they passed by to visit were cool. She also tends to consider as family anyone who she really likes or spends a lot of time with, nicknaming them as 'uncle', 'aunt' or in rare cases 'brother' or 'sister' rather than just friends. She's very attached to her family, biological or not, and would do anything to see them happy.

UNCLEFTISH Beholding _ basic atomic physiks.
For most of its being, mankind did not know what things are made of, but could only guess. With the growth of worldken, we began to learn, and today we have a beholding of stuff and work that watching bears out, both in the workstead and in daily life. The underlying kinds of stuff are the “firststuffs”, which link together in sundry ways to give rise to the rest. Formerly we knew of ninety-two firststuffs, from waterstuff, the lightest and barest, to ymirstuff, the heaviest. Now we have made more, such as aegirstuff and helstuff.
The firststuffs have their being as motes called “unclefts”. These are mightly small; one seedweight of waterstuff holds a tale of them like unto two followed by twenty-two naughts. Most unclefts link together to make what are called “bulkbits”. Thus, the waterstuff bulkbit bestands of two waterstuff unclefts, the sourstuff bulkbit of two sourstuff unclefts, and so on. (Some kinds, such as sunstuff, keep alone; others, such as iron, cling together in ices when in the fast standing; and there are yet more yokeways.) When unlike clefts link in a bulkbit, they make “bindings”. Thus, water is a binding of two waterstuff unclefts with one sourstuff uncleft, while a bulkbit of one of the forestuffs making up flesh may have a thousand thousand or more unclefts of these two firststuffs together with coalstuff and chokestuff.

my favorite part of the essay is that all the element names that sound fairly off in anglo saxon … are indeed just what those names are in greek anyway! “waterstuff” indeed.
In favor of Uncleftish Beholding, I do have to say: "lightrotting" is a way better name than "radioactive decay".
