Hi, Hana Just wondering, is there a difference between bōc-gesamnung and bōc-gestrēon? I enjoy the Wordhord posts very much. Regards Conor LikeLiked by 1 person
Practically speaking, there’s probably no difference, but gestrēon means riches, wealth or treasure, while gesamnung is simply a collection of things. So bōc-gestrēon implies something fancier, more impressive, or of greater value perhaps. LikeLike
