Is there any book or list of Anglo-Saxon words that have not become obsolete but are very rarely used? I want to purge my English from Norman and Latin influences as far as I can.

Lol impossible, English is a pidgin from Anglo Saxon and old french. There is no such thing as “old english”

Kek Saxons raped England more than the Normans ever could, replacing the early Celtic culture wholesale but here you are sucking them off because they are more "native" to you, bongs have a strange slave complex. You're more Celt than you are Saxon, and your ruling class is more continental than they are British

There’s a manufactured language that uses only germanic syntax and bastardized english words.

It’s very interesting to read
