Anlaf, that's brilliant.
In the interests of full transparency, I don't actually remember any of my Anglo Saxon, but I do still have my trusty "Guide to Old English" and never leave the house without it.
Anglo Saxon has loads of fantastic words, including one for those speaking after a man's death
It doesn't have 'pregnancy' but it does have 'eacnung', so we can stop panicking about the fact that pregnancy literally didn't exist until after the French arrived.
The AS for man is wer - as in werewolf (I'm thinking wolf in sheep's clothing in the changing room...)
Maiden, woman and daughter all derive from AS. Girl is also an AS construction so probably does too. Shockingly, there are no native speakers left with whom to check.
Someone mentioned the 4 cases. After the Norman conquest, English was a lesser language - not much written etc - and it was influenced by the French. So it was simplified and grammar adapted in some aspects on French lines. We didn't actually lose the Genitive though but because personal pronoun forn is the same as Accusative, we don't think about it. So we say "her dog" and not "the dog of her". We also say "Sarah's ball" where the 's formation reflects the fact that good old Anglo Saxon genitive usually ended in es and we are missing out the e.
