It's been a while since I've posted in this thread, but last night I came across a rare early Autechre track made circa 1991 (in the Lego Feet era), and HOLY SHIT, this sounds FUCKING AWESOME:

I stayed up way later than I thought I would, so I'll read your response later after I get some sleep. Glad to know I got the point across perfectly; that's what I like to hear :)

Hope you have a good day as well. Take care!

Oh yeah, I love Autechre

Also my apologies for only writing in English. I don't know much Japanese (I only know a couple of basic words and phrases. The same goes for reading Japanese), and English is the only language I'm fluent in. Hopefully Google Translate or DeepL translated my posts above into Japanese accurately.

Listen to how the "dæg" in "tō dæg" is pronounced. That is how you would pronounce the "mæġ" in "mæġden".

Old English was pretty interesting when it came to spelling and pronunciation of words, and I love it for that.

Also, as for the pronunciation of "mæġden", in Old English (specifically the "mæġ" part of the pronunciation), I will refer you to this video of The Lord's Prayer in Old English, as you will get a better understanding it than I can currently explain.

(Note that the asterisk symbol means a reconstruction, and not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence (they are referring to the practice of the comparative method in linguistics).

You are also correct about the meanings of the words as well.

That's right! The word "maid" indeed comes from the word "maiden". It comes from the Middle English versions of the word, which were "mayden" or "meiden". These of course, came from the Old English word "mæġden", from Proto-West Germanic "*magadīn", from Proto-Germanic "*magaþs".

You're welcome! :D Take care of yourself as well!

You're welcome! It's nice to know you found the topic interesting. Also, your English (assuming you're not using a translator) actually isn't that bad! In fact, I'd say it's very close to sounding fluent. It's kinda cool to see you be able to get to this point of understanding the language.
