Líne 9:
I doubt this will be seen, but is "betweoxbend" merging the words for "between" and "bond" to create the idea of an "interconnection"? The other two terms (webbsīde & woruldwīd webb) have obvious rationales, but betweoxbend is barely clear, even when one knows the now-obscure term "betwixt". And a more general question regarding the crafting of neologisms, how do you decide the order of words in a compound? For instance, is there a rationale behind picking "betweoxbend" between-bond over "bendbetweox" bond-between? Thank you for any assistance. Feel free to remove this section if my question appears too stupid. <small>–Unsigned comment by [[User:Wulfherecyning|Wulfherecyning]] ([[User talk:Wulfherecyning|talk]]), 22:28, 9 April 2019 (UTC)</small>
:It certainly looks like to me like a compound word based on betwēox (betwixt) and bend (bond). I can't answer your other questions, but I'll ping the author, [[User:Gottistgut]], so he can reply.

:Since we are talking about OE, "betweox" is **not** obscure - it is a very common word in OE. With regards to word order, because the resulting word in OE was a noun, the final component of the compound should be a noun. In OE, I do not know of any analogous compound constructions to "forget-me-nots", for example, where the compound is a noun, but the last element is not a noun if taken in isolation. But there are a number of elements present in compouds which commonly come in a certain order within the compound. It's generally quite similar to Modern English Germanic compounds.
