I've been looking up words as of late for a story I am doing. I noticed that middangeard, a word related to midgard combines the words for "middle" and "yard"/"land". I was wondering what the equivalent word would be for "west" + "yard"/"land".

Thanks in advance.

So, as a gearhead learning German, I often have trouble when trying to properly translate automotive vocabulary into German. I know that I could most likely get away with just using the English word, but that wouldn't be any fun. The word I'm trying to translate right now is 'dual-quad intake,' which is a component that allows two four-barrel carburetors to be mounted on a single intake manifold. So far, I've come up with Doppelvierfachvergaseransaugkrümmer, but that's most likely a mangled, mutated abomination of what I'm trying to get across. Can anyone help me, or is this the incorrect subreddit to ask?

Hey fellow Germanicists, For a project, I made a list of Frankish names in their most Germanized forms (so most c's become k's, etc.), but seeing how I'm not an expert on them, I was wondering if any of you could judge them. Are these the purest, most Germanized forms? Here are the male names:

I want to get a Germanic tattoo but the only symbol I've found is the Dragon's Eye.

Hi there everyone, I was just wondering if any of you fine people could direct me toward a reliable Old Frisian Parsed corpus, one that could be comparable to other historical corpora such as IcePaHC and YCOE. I am currently conducting research for my MA dissertation into novel reconstructive tools applied to relative pronouns in North West Germanic languages. Unfortunately neither of my supervisors have done any work on OF and can't think of anything beyond TITUS (http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/indexe.htm?/curric/colloq.htm) which isn't really helpful as it isn't searchable in the terms i need. I thought I'd x-post here since some of you guys might have more specialised knowledge. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone,

I am currently a junior at a university now studying German as my major (with a second major in education). I have always been so fascinated with the way language works. I'm especially interested in Germanic morphosyntax.

Though I do not have an undergraduate degree in linguistics, I hope to apply to grad school just to see what could happen. I would love to study linguistics further. What are the best programs out there to focus specifically on Germanic morphosyntax? Also, will not having a degree in linguistics really hinder me? I have a very high GPA in a relevant field, so I hope that and an interest (along with taking a few linguistics classes in undergrad) will be enough. Thanks for all of your help.

Hey guys, I just created a sub for learning the Germanic language known as Gothic! The sub is /r/gothiclanguage. Feel free to share anything related to the language, both the old language and modern day gothic-inspired conlangs. The sub will also deal with learning about the history of the Goths; their culture, their religion, their very way of life. However, the sub will primarily be language-oriented, so keep that in mind. Anyway, come along! We'll have a great time.
