The Old English Names are wrong - All of them

[PoldarktheKing]

It has come to my attention recently that Old English as it was spoken in 500 AD had not undergone some very important sound changes. Many of the forms in game are completely wrong. To give only two examples, Hengist was actually Hengestæ, as neither e > i nor dropping of the -a had happened, and his older brother was Horsą and not Hors. It's a lot more drastic in some of the other names.

Interesting. If there are proposals of new lists or a more complete set of sound changes I will look at and see what can be done. A source would be much appreciated otherwise, if the two others are too daunting.

I could translate them if you give me a list.
