You'd better eat all your honey beforehand or you'll lose it.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago

Mmm. Honey filled snack.

[-] hakase@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago

That's only for the Slavic "bear" euphemism, medved "honey-eater"

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago

Is there a Russian tennis player with this name?

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 12 hours ago

You assume the honey is for me and not an offering

From a similar thread on the other website hypothesizing what the Modern English word would be if it survived:

After the later metathesis to *h₂ŕ̥ḱtos, it could have become Proto-Germanic *urhtaz, which might have taken any number of forms in Old English, *urht, *orht, *roht. Probably at the extreme it could have become English *rought, pronounced like 'wrought' or 'rout'.

Good luck with your summoning!
