Subject: RE: Folklore: Loaf Mass
Think how much language has evolved in these islands in the last 2000 years. Although scholars can explore this evolution, few of us have any understanding of how speach today is related to speach at anytime in say the first 500 or 1000 years.

Scholars may have views on the evolution of religions during the same period but did the chain of working people through that same period have any understanding of evolving belief systems?
