My career in Medieval Linguistics
[In reply to]

Can't Post

I want to get into a career with Medieval Linguistics. Especially Old and Middle English, But that chance of a career isn't looking all that good; Not when I can't answer these questions (well maybe I can...it's you're take )
Okay, so I think (notice I put the word "think" in italics), that the first word is "move". Moue is only one letter shy of being "move". Plus, when you say it outloud, it also sounds like "move".
2nd word: Ilyke. I'm taking a guess that Ilyke is equivilent to Alike, so that's my final guess on that.
3rd word: So far, there's nothing I can come up with that's closer to "bewty" than the word "beauty".
4th word: Definately Romance.
5th: sound's like knighted
6th: Dread, dreadless, or Dread...something?
7th: Loaves, perhaps? I'm not entirely certain they used the term Loafers back in the times of Old English
8th:Grouchy
9th:Proof
10th:Just a guess, but I think the word might be "cherish".
