Not likely, no.  But then bethink you of the wort _Ulex_.  Some call it
_gorse_, others _furze_, still others _whin_, and most likely each speaker
can acknow (or aknow) the others' words.  I am not fully knowledgeable
in Ander-Saxon, but far more often must I look up English words to find
their Ander-Saxon matches than the other way about.
