Word: shrithe Part of Speech: verb Etymology: Coined by English writer and translator Kevin Crossley-Holland (born 1941): a semi-learned borrowing from Old English sċrīþan (“to go; take one's way to a place; go about; wander”), from Proto-West Germanic *skrīþan, from Proto-Germanic *skrīþaną (“to walk, go, slither, crawl”). Cognate with Dutch schrijden (“to stride”), German schreiten (“to stride, step, proceed”), Icelandic skríða (“to slither, creep, crawl”). As shrithe was a class I strong verb in Old English, were it inherited, the expected forms would be: simple past: *shrothe, and past-participle: *shrithen. It is important to note, however, that Crossley-Holland did not use these forms and therefore has ahistorically treated shrithe as weak verb. Pronunciation: /ʃɹaɪð/ 1. To move; to proceed; to creep, roam, wander. Labels: intransitive, poetic Example: He realized the monster meant to attack Heorot after the blue hour, when black night has settled over all— when shadowy shapes come shrithing dark beneath the clouds. Example: Grendel to His Mother [by Kirsten Dabrowski] Oh momma, momma, I'm just not a winner, / 'Cause I got roughed up on my way to get dinner. / I shrithed to the Heorot to get human yummies / To tickle our palates and fill up our tummies.
