Trying makes good-doing.  I have myself written a putthrough of the Bill of
Rights for the U.S. (or rather the "Onemade Lands of Markland") as
well as a lawyerly helpscreed "Know Your Rights When You Are Stopped".
I can give you these if you want.  Lawspeech is quite hard to putthrough,
for that it holds so many Frankish and Roman words.

This tongue most often hight "Anglo-Saxon", although some like to say
"Ander-Saxon" after Poul Anderson, whose "Uncleftish Beholding"
("Atomic Theory") is the first and best-known work in the tongue.

Akin is the well-known speech[1] of Guy Steele, wherein all words of
a single soundpart are taken to be firstlings, but all other words
with two or more soundparts must be samesaid either one by one or
else under a bylaw.
