The English to Old Tongue Dictionary

Some short notes on usage:
In some cases, there are two or more Old Tongue words for an English word. Obviously, this is because two or more OT words can be translated to the same English word. Much like a real dictionary, the first listed OT word is the most commonly used.
A handful of OT words are the same in the singular and the plural. These words have been noted with the designation (sing. or pl.).
