Thanks, but I do have it covered. The sad part is am in general so
pathetically broke that I could not do it before now. Hopefully when I get
with Meredudd next, it will get on its way.
The West Saxon version of the A-S Chronicle has Cynric listed in it
early, but this is late West Saxon. In a book on Cynewulf the poet, they
explain the the age and origin of his name as a way of dating and find ing
his dialect which appears as Mercian. They say the age progress is cyni- >
cyne- > cyn- for Mercian showing a vowel shift toward Saxon where the
Northumbrian retains the early -i- weak vowel. Ward is just the northern
variant of weard (of which I also have the later name Cyneweard as a
dialectal cognate). I have been arguing "ing" so I think I have it covered.
:)
I also have my by-name covered "forscruncenu hand"- "Withered/
Shrunken-Hand". I actually do have muscle atrophy in my hand making it
withered. :)
About my device, is there a problem with: Fieldless, a Nordic sunwheel
gules. The sunwheel is in the pic-dic though I do not know if it has been
rebanned (it was oncee then allowed again) with its rising and visible use
among White Aryan Resistance. (Gods I hate those idiots).
