Alright, my first article, so be kind. What's 'computer' again. I found this page and used circolwyrde. Is that still alright? --Santiago88 19:30, 31 Gēolmōnaþ 2008 (UTC)Reply

Circolƿyrde is one word used; spærcletelle is another. I'm not sure which is the more commonly used neologism (maybe the former?). — Scíráþ 06:38, 1 Se Æfterra Gēola 2009 (UTC)Reply

Between the two terms, spearcatella has more of a concrete definition, which is more fitting to the idea it describes. OE often tended to be descriptive in its naming (instead of labeling, like English is now), and the odd term circolƿyrde refers to a person. —Ƿōdenhelm 16:25, 1 Se Æfterra Gēola 2009 (UTC)Reply
