English has a bad name when it comes to preserving words of Germanic origin. In the centuries after the Norman Conquest, a lot of native English words, inherited from Proto-Germanic, were supplanted by French and Latin words.
However, what's less well known is that English also preserves quite a few Germanic words that were lost in the other West Germanic languages, such as Dutch, German, Low Saxon, and Frisian.
The infographic shows 12 examples. The next one will contain nouns and more verbs.

Hebrew wasnβt spoken for 2,000 years. Hereβs how it was revived.
“In the 19th century, most Jews in Europe were still second-class citizens when a new movement emerged that looked to Hebrew as a way to inspire hope through the Jewish peopleβs glorious past, Reuveny says. Hebrew revivalists wanted to expand the language beyond the abstract concepts in the Bibleβthey wanted to use it to talk about modern events, politics, philosophy, and medicine.”

Once again begging journalists to talk to demographers when writing articles about demography. This piece repeatedly states that pronatalists are βdata-drivenβ, yet allows their statement that low fertility will result in βcountries of old people starving to deathβ to pass by unchallenged
