"Unicorn" is a bit of a misnomer, as the singular horn is actually not a horn at all, but a tusk, or elongated tooth, similar to that of an elephant or a narwhal.

The unicorn is an anomaly because it is a grazing animal, but the giant tusk makes it very difficult to traditionally graze. The unicorn evolved around this by employing a prehensile trunk, which it uses to pick long grasses and leafy forage. Bull unicorns are larger than cows, and have longer tusks, which they use to spar.

Sparring or "jousting" with these deadly weapons can easily cause severe injuries or death. As such, unicorns developed an elaborate and intense display system of dancing and rearing to intimidate rivals, and will typically only fight as a last resort.

For most of its being, mankind did not know what things are made of, but could only guess. With the growth of worldken, we began to learn, and today we have a beholding of stuff and work that watching bears out, both in the workstead and in daily life.
The underlying kinds of stuff are the firststuffs, which link together in sundry ways to give rise to the rest. Formerly we knew of ninety-two firststuffs, from waterstuff, the lightest and barest, to ymirstuff, the heaviest. Now we have made more, such as aegirstuff and helstuff.
The firststuffs have their being as motes called unclefts. These are mighty small: one seedweight of waterstuff holds a tale of them like unto two followed by twenty-two naughts. Most unclefts link together to make what are called bulkbits. Thus, the waterstuff bulkbit bestands of two waterstuff unclefts, the sourstuff bulkbit of two sourstuff unclefts, and so on. (Some kinds, such as sunstuff, keep alone; others, such as iron, cling together in chills when in the fast standing; and there are yet more yokeways.) When unlike unclefts link in a bulkbit, they make bindings. Thus, water is a binding of two waterstuff unclefts with one sourstuff uncleft, while a bulkbit of one of the forestuffs making up flesh may have a thousand or more unclefts of these two firststuffs together with coalstuff and chokestuff.
At first it was thought that the uncleft was a hard thing that could be split no further; hence the name. Now we know it is made up of lesser motes. There is a heavy kernel with a forward bernstonish lading, and around it one or more light motes with backward ladings. The least uncleft is that of everyday waterstuff. Its kernel is a lone forwardladen mote called a firstbit. Outside it is a backwardladen mote called a bernstonebit. The firstbit has a heaviness about 1840-fold that of the bernstonebit. Early worldken folk thought bernstonebits swing around the kernel like the Earth around the Sun, but now we understand they are more like waves or clouds.

I have seen this before AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

It’s not just Latin derivations that have been taken out and replaced by Germanic-English roots; it’s Greek and French too.  The source is “Uncleftish Beholding”, by Poul Anderson (full text here, Wikipedia article here).

What English might sound like if we didn’t beat up other languages in back alleys, then? ;)

Seriously tho I love this.

i was looking up historically accurate clothing as a bit of art inspiration and found the online museum of saudi arabian costume

there’s a bunch more gems just like these and they’re all so beautiful and unique.  there’s also great information about the clothing, too, such as how they were made, who wore them, what fabrics were used, what the different parts of the costumes were called, etc.  just a really fun and informative site and i thought i would share my find.
