When writing, use the early West Saxon spellings:
#Use ''ie'' instead of ''y'' (thus ''
#Use ''an'' instead of ''on'' (thus ''and'' instead of ''ond'', ''mann'' instead of ''monn'', etc.)
#Punctuate sentences as you normally would, i.e. a period for sentences, question mark for questions, and exclamation mark for imperatives/commands.
#For subordinate clauses, separate them from the main clause by a comma, e.g. "Ic cann secgan, þæt hē is mīn brōðor." Or, "Þes is sē mōnaþ, þe
#In series, place commas after each word, including one before 'and' (mōdor, fæder, and sweostor).
Long-stemmed monosyllables: end with either a long vowel and one consonant or a short vowel and two consonants, e.g. hand, cniht, fōt, tōþ.
Short-stemmed disyllables: end with a short vowel, then one consonant, then another short vowel, then one consonant, e.g. metod,
Long-stemmed disyllables: end with the same pattern as above (e.g. vowel, consonant cluster, vowel, consonant cluster) but ''must'' have at least one long vowel or one cluster of two consonants, e.g. engel, habban,

=====Notes: Weak Verb 1b=====
*See notes on Weak Verb 1a for formation of the different forms of the verb.

*Verbs having a long vowel and one consonant, like '''dēman''', don't generally have the full -est, -eþ endings. Thus, the imperative is simply the þu form without -st (dēm!, not dēme!).
*Verbs like dēman include verbs ending in -rn, -ng, -rg, -lg,
*Verbs like drencan include those ending in -nc, -sc, -p, -sp, -t, -rp. They add -te in the past tense (
