In recreating an Elizabethan village, words are important.  Many things said back then aren't said now.  Did you know the word "vegetable" was not proper in the 16th century?  The proper term was "vegetive."  To the left are links to my current vernacular files.  One is arranged alphabetically by period word.  One is arranged by alphabetically modern equivalent.  When I have completed adding all my documents to this site, I will add a search feature so you can look for specific terms and find out the other century's meaning quickly.
