Leigh, lee, lees, lease, ly or lay?

Scrolling Tumblr I ran into a book "The Story of English in 100 Words" by David Crystal, and it's absolutely fabulous. In a nutshell, the author decided to stroll down the history of English by digging deep into 100 separate words. Lemme retell one word story and a little bit elaborate it with more examples:

"Lea" is not an everyday English word, well, since hardly anybody (among non-native speakers) will understand it without clicking a link to OxfordDictionary. However, inhabitants of the British Isles will probably recognize next proper names (mostly places): Lea, Leigh, Bletchley, Dudley, Wembley, Audley, Madingley, Morley, Dingley, Evenley, Rowley, Stanley, Langley, Ashley, Oakleigh, Thornley, Uley, Bronley, Cloverley, Farleigh, Wheatley, Flaxley, Durley, Gateley, Horsley, Shipley, Finchley, Crawley (supernatural xd), Beeleigh, etc.

England was heavily forested in Anglo-Saxon times, and it was common practice to make a new settlement by chopping the trees down and starting a farm. If Beorn made a space in this way, it would be called ‘Beorn’s clearing’ – ‘Beorn’s leah’ – modern Barnsley.

All of them have their own meanings, you can check them all in Wikipedia or on Scribd.

These are 20-25% of what I've found, there are definitely even more and not only in the UK, but the USA and Australia, too. If you'd like to see more etymologies of toponyms - let me know.

G'd luck :))

PS: just found out that links to specific paragraphs on Wiki doesn't work as I thought it had to ;( Anyways check chapter "History" or just look for paragraphs with etymology on the pages I added links to.

Today is #DictionaryDay! This is the dictionary that was presented to my parents on the day I was born. My dad literally read it to death; pages were falling out, it was pretty decrepid. On my XXth birthday, this arrived in the mail. Fully re-bound, my name in gold. Somewhere I have the companion editions: two binders with lists of words no longer in use that Dad thought should be, as well as every word that originally degraded women. . #dictionary #oxforddictionary #oxforduniversaldictionary #lexicography #words #wordsaboutwords #reboundbooks #mynameembossedingold #mynameonthebinding #myfirstbook #myfirstbirthdaypresent #words #books #read https://www.instagram.com/p/B3sIVFAJ88K/?igshid=q9uztf0lsjho

Who knows when Catherine Morland from Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen uses this word? 🤔📖 . . . I’ll tell you: She does while walking with Henry Tilney and his sister through Bath to describe the landscape they’re admiring on the top of a hill. “Very picturesque” she says... 💐⛰ . . . #words #what’sthemeaningof #dictionary #oxforddictionary #meaningofwords #picturesque #catherinemorland #northangerabbey #janeausten #tatianareallyknows #tatianaflores #aplaceforeveryword @jane_austen_centre #bathengland https://www.instagram.com/p/BoGhth3FT6T/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jrtsixqdpngu

My profound observation for the early AM. #Microsoft Word doesn't like contractions. I actually seem to remember an old English teacher telling me that they should seldom be used in written English. So now of course I am scrambling to see if can find any mention of it by #Oxford. #oxforddictionary #englishgrammar (at Haymarket, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb9NfgQuAaG/?utm_medium=tumblr

🧩 Даже если ваш уровень владения языком начальный, смотрите видео и слушайте подкасты на изучаемом языке. Сначала вы будете понимать несколько слов, но потом вы заметите как это помогает быстрей усваивать язык. 🧩 Зарегистрируетесь на сайтах для общения с носителями языка и практикуйтесь там каждый день. Старайтесь применить все новые конструкции, выученные на занятиях. 🧩Если вы изучаете язык самостоятельно, выбор учебника играет решающую роль. Он должен давать вам возможность освоить все необходимые навыки. Поэтому обязательно используйте задания с аудио и видео сопровождением. Дополнительные задания для чтения тоже Вам пригодятся. 🧩 Когда работаете со словарем, используйте не перевод слова, а его определене на английском. Полезными буду такие ресурсы как #longmandictionary #oxforddictionary и им подобные. 🧩 Грамматика проще усваивается если использовать таблицы и схема. Находите те, которые вам подходят или создавайте их сами. Это поможет вам структурировать информацию. #english #englishteacher #английский https://www.instagram.com/p/CUSEgkxM5yy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Sometimes I really need those, no, I have to keep it up!😤 I am using like what different between destiny and fate. Hmm, I remember when I went to England then I bought this thesaurus. Actually I wanted to buy English dictionary for study but I made a mistake to buy this thesaurus.😭 時々やっぱり必要になるんですよね。同じ言葉の繰り返しをしないようにと。いつまでも勉強しなきゃ😠先日fateとdestinyの違いって何だっけと思って急遽買いました。投資です。思い出すなー、イギリスに行って最初に買ったのがシソーラスだったのを。本当は英英辞典買いたかったのに。懐かしいなー。🤣 @oxford_uni #oxford #saffronwalden #cambridge #oxforddictionary #theasaurus #englishdictionary #オックスフォード #ケンブリッジ #シソーラス #英英辞典 #類語辞典 https://www.instagram.com/p/CPLLdTXDBLp/?utm_medium=tumblr
