Oþmeldian

or, if we're using the imperative, maybe

Oþmelda

or

Melda oþ

The choice of oþmeldian was motivated by my notion of using inmeldian for 'log in'. Oþmeldian is also, so far as I can guess, the cognate of Dutch afmelden and German abmelden 'log off'. --Saforrest 23:42, 7 ÆGé 2005 (UTC)

Of (both English and OE) is the cognate of German ab and Dutch af. (Also, Frisian has ôfmelde.) I don't know what the cognates of oþ are. (Something very odd: oþ as a preposition means 'to' or 'until', but oþ as a prefix means 'away'.) Of means 'from' or 'away from'. There are not many compounds with of, though ofgiefan ('abandon'), oflǽtan ('relinquish'), and oflinnan ('cease') are notable. I suppose the number of compounds in oþ is only slightly greater (and these have meanings such as 'escape', 'row away', 'swim away').

Maybe ofmeldian. --Rícaheard 11:07, 8 ÆGé 2005 (UTC)
