Some medicine words from Dutch
I am an American revising some biology, chemistry and stuff all in Dutch for med school entrance exams for the Netherlands. Throughout this revision I came across some interesting words that can be used for Anglish medicine words.
Dutch → Anglish (Modern English)
Alvleesklier → allfleshclyer (pancreas)
Zuur → sour (acid)
Stikstof → Stickstuff (Nitrogen)
Zuurstof → Sourstuff (Oxygen) →
Waterstof → Waterstuff (Hydrogen)
Koolstof → Coalstuff (Carbon)
Koolzuur → Coalsour (Carbonic)
Koolwaterstoffen → Coalwaterstuff (Carbohydrates)
I think that these sound pretty good for Anglish. I might even use some of these whilst speaking modern English.
