Perhaps a bit on topic: the German parts pose some questions to me. One
example: how to parse
"Swaz hie gat umbe"?
~ "Das was hier rundumgeht"?
Looks Germanic... Wikipedia tells me it's Middle High German.
Did Joseph Wright[1] also write a MHG primer? Yes, he did! Checking

"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.
Aha, "so was". Thank you!
When did "gan" (nl. gaan) become "gehen"?
