A Conversation for Anglo-Saxon (Old English)
Translation of three words?
GypsyE Started conversation Aug 4, 2012
Hello,
I am looking for a translation of the following three words urgently:
Dream ( - as in the dreams one has while asleep, but also hopefully the dreams one has for their life/aspirations - if one word can encompass all?)
Seek ( - as in explore, strive, quest)
Compose/ Create - (HOPEFULLY I can find one word that implies composing music, and creating fiction / writing.)
So far I think these are best:
Dream - Swefn
Seek - Asecan
I am stuck on the 'Create' 'Compose' word. Compose seems to imply arranging something which has already been written which isn't the meaning I want, and I can't find a word for create that applies to creating music / literature.
Also as for writing these properly in the appropriate calligraphy, am I right in thinking the capital 'S' of Swefn is still written the same? It's just lower case 's' that have a different symbol?
Any advice greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

Hi Gypsy,
Gnomon is currently on holiday for the next week or two. I hope you are not in a hurry for the answers, as he might not be within wifi range.
