[Dr. Maya C. Popa @MayaCPopa]

Still not over this Old English word, which feels like an entire philosophy in itself. From dūst (“dust”) + sċēawung (“inspection, contemplation”).

I wrote a piece about it for @GuernicaMag last year ✨

Competition time - To coincide with tonight’s Lady Gregory documentary by @SenLynnRuane & @MMargolyes on @RTEOne we’re giving away a pair of our stunning editions of Irish Myths and Legends. Details of how to enter will be revealed at the start of the show. RTs appreciated.

[Dr Danny Bate @DannyBate4]

English has many pairs of words where '-th' was once added to make a noun out of the other, like 'width' and 'wide'.

My favourites are the ones for which the link may not be obvious now, like:
- 'mirth' and 'merry'
- 'drought' and 'dry'
- 'filth' and 'foul'
- 'sloth' and 'slow'

They did not specify the exact building material to be used.
