Hello y'all. Would y'all see "pony" as an acceptable word in Anglish? According to Wiktionary, the word ultimately comes from Latin, but it was loaned into Scots from French and then came into English.

As Scots is another Germanic language, and because I don't think the word came in due to some sort of invasion, would it be considered Anglish? I'm asking this because I'm trying to translate Yankee Doodle, and I haven't found an alternative word for "pony."

Insular Script:

Anglisc Spelling:
Forgif me if I misƿend sumþing, I hafen't brooked Anglisc for a hƿile.

As þe heading sags, hƿat do ƿe Angliscers þink of inkhorned ƿords from Norðmannisc (like "þeg" or "skig")? I cnue þat Anglisc has no ƿikkenig alderdom, alþuh I ƿunder if þere's anig folkcooð þaugting abute Norðmannisc inkhorns.

English Spelling:
Forgive me if I miswend something, I haven't brooked Anglish for a while.

As the heading says, what do we Anglishers think of inkhorned words from Northmannish (like "they" or "sky")? I know that Anglish has no wickeny alderdom, although I wonder if there's any folkcooth thaughting about Northmannish inkhorns.
