knighted for nayted does make sense according to the advice from NEB and NZ Strider. I suppose too that being knighted makes one celebrated.... wow that's some stretching though without context it could be an adjective.... hmmmm okay just as an object lesson on the subjective and arbitrary nature of judging performance, you and Eyes on Guard can adjust your score upwards 5% each. Kny[gh]t is one of few key words to appear in both glossaries -- which is why I include both, for a more complete picture of Tolkien's work with Middle English -- but in Sisam it also appears as Knight(e), Knyght(e), Kny[gh]te, and Kniht. So you can see for yourself that nayted =/= knighted. (P.S. "[gh]" is used instead of yogh [Ȝ] which doesn't always render correctly for me.) I'm wondering if nayted might have been pronounced hyeted? Anyway dernwyn, I thought you might appreciate this. While flipping through A Middle English Vocabulary just now, I came across "Ioie" which means "Joy." Do you think this might be how Ioreth was named? ETA: I also found "Nat=not" in Sisam which further bolsters Phibbus' claim to 5%.
