Eoha

Eoha is a short form of an Anglo-Saxon masculine name commencing with eoh (horse).

Reference:

Eoha [Nicholas Brooks & Susan Kelly 2013 Anglo-Saxon Charters 17: 391].

Stem:

eoh = a horse [Joseph Bosworth 1838 A Dictionary of the Anglo-Saxon Language, 1st edition, page 684].

Suffix:

— a = termination of pet names, such as Cutha for Cuthwine or Cuthwulf [William Searle 1897 Onomasticon Anglo-Saxonicum, page 1].

Evidence:

The direction “ad eohinga burh” [John Kemble 1839 Codex Diplomaticus Aevi Saxonici 1: 149 (number 121)] is believed to mean “to the burh (‘fort, fortified place’) of the people of Eoha (Eohingas)” [Nicholas Brooks & Susan Kelly 2013 Anglo-Saxon Charters 17: 391]. The charter is “a complete forgery” [Nicholas Brooks & Susan Kelly 2013 Anglo-Saxon Charters 17: 389], but the estate claimed would have been real.

So I put that Solavellan fic I wrote for a buddy on AO3, and I see in my inbox two messages about EOHA from the same person. They praised the fic, but they also brought up an interesting point: EOHA seems focused on Clara’s perspective. What about Malcolm’s? What would he have to say or feel about certain points of their relationship, and what little things would he notice that she wouldn’t?

I’ll have to give the idea some more thought, but I would really like to get enough ideas together to explore from his side of the ‘ship. I don’t know how long it would be--probably not 20+ chapters--but long enough to at least be enjoyable? Even if it’s small drabble fics?

The commenter also mentioned that they’d like to see me write more Whouffaldi stuff again and I... really do goddamn want to, but my brain just gets so flustered and tied up wanting to write original things that I almost don’t know where to start when it comes to the fic that inspires said original things. Maybe when I sit down and watch Series 9, something will stir in my head. But the trouble is, if something stirs in my head, I want it to be for an original story idea.

Bah. So it goes. Back and forth.

Uh-oh, the name of that title. We must be to s4. There's just no way around that. Let lotuskasumi guide us through that quagmire with her magic turns of phrase.

And you thought I'd forget to link to the latest chapter Eat Our Hearts Alive by the amazing lotuskasumi. I would say it's pure satsouffle goodness, but it's more than that. It's a great story, full stop, with larger themes and turns of phrase and characters true to themselves... I'll shut up, you go read.

Turns out I don't mind waking up an hour before my alarm is due to go off if I have an email that a new chapter of Eat Our Hearts Alive is up.
