:Hrm.... "ofet" is for fruit. "Wæstm" can be for "fruit", but it is broader, more like "agricultural produce". "Plega" means "sport", whereas "plegan" means "sports", so I would go for the latter, since we use plural in category names, consistent with, for example, MnE Wikipedia practice. Same goes for "sprǣc" (language, speech) vs "sprǣca" (languages).

::Or '''gamen''' for sport or '''gereord''' for language.
::For category names, it is not always the plural which is appropriate but a category word, so for animals I would say '''Deorcynn''' as that means "animals as a category", and '''Treowcynn''' means "trees as a category", just as today we would say "poultry" to mean "chickens as a category". (I've not seen any ''oftecynn'' or ''wæstmcynn'' in books.)
::For language we can have '''Flocc:Sprǣc''' if that best means "The concept of language". It does not work in the plural.
::In Modern English we say "Sport" to mean the concept of playing and disporting but "a sport" is a different sense, so in ''Englisc'' we might have "Gamen" for a particular game but "Plega" to mean sport as a concept.
