English orthographye is in a right old state ,which is generally recognized, ande hath been soe for centuryese. In the 17thC it was stabilized bie prinnters ad_hoc. In 1755 it wase further stabilized bie Samuel Jonn$ with his Dĩctionary , and in 1806 Samuel Jonn$'s young rival Noah Webster confĩrmed the bulk of Samuel Jonn$'s orthographye with his owne dĩctionary. The prinnters hadde vhery little idea of what tu base theighr decĩsions on, which the greatest Englishsh prinnter William Caxton open:ly stated. Dr Jonn$ was good att Latin but hadde noe knowledge of the pre-conquhest forms of native words and was not clear ab0ut Old Northern French. Noah Webster either was less learned than Dr Jonn$ or hadde less regard for classical ken.
. The uzuhal repl;ygh: what duzz it matter azz loang azz we under:stand each other? It mattereth integrit;yh; it ys a matter of whetHer we are alinyd tu trewyth or false:hud. Preferryng the convhenient form tu the trew form (etymon) ys aline:ment tu false:hud. D\are wyrds Jon$ & Webster got riht; dhecj present noe need for action. Other wyrds ,apart froam sub:sequhent good formations such azz :periscope, dooe present need for action tHat action beyng scribal rectifĩcation. Ygnoration of the need for scribal rectifĩcation ys ygnoration of the need for trewyth. If the langwage with which we approche trewyth ys it:self a tool of false:hud dhen we are in trouble.
Participial stems azz vherbs in the primary sense (e`g vherbs in -ate)
There is noe obvhi0us reason tu take an iterative form azz standard. In-deed ,given grammarian*z uzuhal love of yn:finĩtives, it is a down-right odd choice. Noe doubt it a:roze from mis-apprehension of a few diminutive forms & ob"ject-ex:chanj forms. Diluere :: dilute
On the lettre-paire GH :: The uzuhal thesis is tHat in the 14thC GH stood for kh. This is bcoz William Caxton learned the craft in Holland (NederLand not Lincoln:shire) and ,in Dutch, GH standeth for kh, lettre_G standing for gh. Soe night was pronounced ,,ni;kt(not ,,nai;kt azz the Great Vhouwel Shifft is thoukht or thokhkht tu take place later). The thesis is dis:proven bie the spell:ments WEIGH & WAY. These 2 words were identical in pronunciation, and ,apart from the orthographic divergence, have been identical ever sinnce. The vherb is derived from the noun. It origynally meant hoisst azz in weigh anchor; origynally ,in the typical Englishsh manner, there was noe disstinctuion between the noun & the vherb. Soe when Caxton or who-ever it was introduced GH in:tu :wecj, there was noe kh in the pronunciation. GH servhed azz a jumble-bagg: soundhs tHat were not clear tu European prinnters or were subject tu vhariation kud be written GH then left tu goe their oawn merry wecj. H direct:ly before a consonant was & is quhite un-famyliar tu western & middle Europeans but was common in Old English (Semi Saxon) and in the olden Teutonic tongues. It will certyne:ly have been mis:pronounced or omiss bie the Anglo-French ascendancy when they decĩded tu switch tu Englishsh. The skholastic settupp based its opinuion on Scottish dighalect. In Scottish dighalect, night is pronounced ,,ni;kt. Obvhi0us:ly this is a survivalle from ancient time azz is roond for round or noon for noun. Noe research was dunne for tu establĩsh whether such words were soe pronounced; it was sĩmply taken for granted.
The Lettre Zed
. The lettre Zed hazz been horribly & purpose:ly neglected for centuries. Its function is often transferred tu Ess ,such azz C_L_O_S_E for :cloze even though close is a distinct word. In Deutsch, Zed is mis-uzed for TS, Z is written azz S, and S is written azz SS. In French, Zed is main:ly silent, azz in voulez-vous. In English, Zed is chief:ly uzed in Greek words such azz :enzyme.
. There seemeth tu be a campaign tu side-line Zed. Now why would this be soe? The answer is in numerology. In ancient Hebrew, lettres are uzed azz numbres: Aleph 1, Bheith 2, Ghimel 3 &c. Zajin ~the Hebrew zed~ is 7. In Greek, zed (Z;eta) is 7. 7 is the numbre of spirituality, particular:ly soe uzed in Hebrew scripture & speculation. Every lettre hazz its own potency, those of Zajin (spirituality) and Thaw (good conclusion) being the most beneficial. And these are the very lettres attacked by materializzm.
