User:Rua/Modern Germanic

< User:Rua

Imagine what things would have been like if people still spoke the old Germanic language. Of course a modern language would need words for modern concepts. What words would they use for things that didn't exist two thousand years ago? I've made a short list of words that those people might have coined if they still lived today.

If you have any to add, go right ahead!
