Amerysk Word of the Day: Rædere

Rædere, raedere

English: reader (one who reads), lector.
Deutsch: Leser
Esperanto: leganto, legisto

-ere is one of our most useful affixes, like the modern English -er. It can be attached to any word where it makes sense.
-ja can be a specifically feminine version of -ere. So rædja is a female 'one who reads'.

Rædan, raedan

English: to read
Deutsch: lesen
Esperanto: legi

Ræding, raeding

English: reading (something which is read), lesson
Deutsch: Lektion
Esperanto: leciono

Hy byan tha rædere.
Tha lœtt knapa rædan tha ræding. 
Tha rædere byan myn bærn. 

English:
He is the reader.
The little boy reads the lesson.
The reader is my child.

News:
1. The original booklet Snaekk and Skryf Amerysk is going to be scanned and put online in its original form on our Facebook page. 
2. A new dictionary with the new words being added to Amerysk is being compiled. The updated version will be shared somewhere online from time to time.
3. I am starting to translate some lessons from the old-fashioned McGuffey's Primer into Amerysk. This will help me see what words are missing from the language and need to be added.
