Some medicine words from Dutch

🎨 I Made Þis (Original Content)

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.
