How insane. If it's in the public domain, I can get it online for free instead of having to pay $15 for it. Especially when we aren't even reading the entire thing.
Anyway, I'm scrolling through a quick glossary of Middle English words Chaucer used and find this:
kankedort noun bad situation
kaynard noun dotard, a person who is feeble-minded
Aren't those just two of the coolest words ever? I have to start using them, along with jangles (gossip), clyket (key), bireve (remove, deprive, take away), bileve (remain, stay), taas (heap), swyve (copulate with), and nyfles (silly stories).
