@david @yogthos yeah, beyond that I recognized a few words, but some of those I recognized from the time when I played a medieval nun on the internet :D(I hand copied a text in Old English of which I had read a translation, so I had a vague idea of what was happening, but I couldn't exactly understand what I was copying in each individual sentence)

I have a slightly odd hobby.

* turtleneck shirt <=> poolopaita

I'm sure there are others, but these ones trip me every so often.
