Which Old English is used here?
[adihtan fruman]The Old English used on this wiki was decided in 2004-2005 by a number of users, to be both compatible and easy to read. The Early West Saxon form of the language is used, as seen in the Clark Hall A Concise Anglo-Saxon dictionary. There were numerous spelling variations, such as gyfan, giefan, and gifan. Using any variant whenever we feel like it may be natural OE, but here, we use one spelling for one word so that it will be easier for new users to read. The accusative and dative pronouns are distinct, so that mē and mec are both used, and the dative plural is not a reduced on but the full um ending. Please take care to use standardized spelling when editing.
