 One wonders how the journeys of the anglosaxons to the shores of England must have been like. It is doubtful to have been easy, and despite the lacuna in our knowledge on the matter, maybe studying the reasons behind it more would be useful. It is impossible to build the future without utilizing the past. Truly, it is impossible, for every invention, for it to be useful, needs to find a contemporarily unused word that had its time in the past. There is a datalistic reason for that, for nobody will take you seriously if you come up with a word that neither a god nor an ant can relate to, let alone a person. One wonders whether reading hieroglyphs is a sin or not. Given the Islamic and iconoclastic reservation about looking at images, it should be like procreation for humanity, done only if it prevents annihilation, but avoided otherwise. But not all hieroglyphs are sinful, and some are more honorable than others. To balance the past with the future, let us come up with this compromise, that we invent as many new words as we reuse old ones, or as many new symbols as those of the past, although new words are almost always a mix of the two.
