      I parse the first line of the 1400’s “But the man would me not abandon there, nor suffer me to pass forth. I might not flee, for his companions, of whom there were a great number, beset me about and held me fast that I should not escape.”

      So…if you’ve read a pompous fantasy hack in your teens (and honestly who hasn’t) you’ll get by.

      also the word douȝti suggests there’s a chunk of scots in there.
