Perhaps a bit on topic: the German parts pose some questions to me. One

"Swaz hie gat umbe"?

Looks Germanic... Wikipedia tells me it's Middle High German.
Did Joseph Wright[1] also write a MHG primer? Yes, he did! Checking
there...
~ was hier geht um(her)
"Swaz" < "so waz" 'whatever' is apparently a relative pronoun.
Neither "swaz" nor "umbe" have modern forms.
[1] Wright's Old High German primer is my go-to resource for that
language stage. He also wrote one on Gothic. They're all
available on the Internet Archive.
