Mary Mack <<They specialize in the older versions of legends, so I didn't even realize (should've, because you mentioned that Ancient Greek was closer to Modern Greek than Middle English is to Modern English) that somebody else might know the word in a different context.>>
A small correction - I said that Modern Greek is closer to Ancient Greek than Modern English is to *Celtic*.
I'm not so sure about the analogous place of Middle-English... Perhaps it's similar to Ancient Greek - most of it would be unintelligible, but people would recognize clear connections between words and could perhaps slowly decipher the meaning of a written text?
Uh, yeah. I've read Chaucer in Middle-English. It's tough, slow going, though fun.
