The linguistic components are a bit overblown, at least as far as extending into the past. Just English to reconstructed Proto-Germanic, dropping any PG endings

The linguistic components are a bit overblown, at least as far as extending into the past. Just English to reconstructed Proto-Germanic, dropping any PG endings, and glossing over things like long vowels: one: /wʌn/ vs /ɑi̯n/ two: /tu/ vs /twɑi̯/ three: /θri/ vs /θri/ four: /fɔr/ vs /ɸeð.wɔr/ five: /faiv/ vs /ɸimɸ/ This is only to early AD times. Pushing back into Proto-Indo-European gets weirder; you lose Grimm's law. Considering I've had trouble asking for a "map" in a Spanish train station (/mæp/ vs /mapa/), I don't see these being anywhere close to understood.
