Hi I am a new member. I am just generally interested in language, although I have no knowledge of OE. Chinese is my challenge at the moment.
I am comparing words which can be both a verb and a noun, such as 'sail, run, format'
I often use etymonline.com There it says eats (= food) as a noun of eat was popular in the 19th century in America, but also that this was a common usage in OE. Can anyone tell me the exact word in OE please?
