[The Caterbury Tales]
line 12 --- Thanne longen folk to ●goon● on pilgrimages,
(I guess this means "Then people long to go on pilgrimages.")
line 78 --- And [he] wente for to ●doon● his pilgrymage.
(I guess this means "And he went to do his pilgrimage.")
The word "goon" in line 12 should mean "to go." It is similar in form
to German "gehen."
German: gehen - ging - gegangen
OE: gan - ??? - ??? (I don't know.)
ME: gon - ??? - ???
The word "doon" in line 78 should mean "to do." It is similar in form
to German "tun."
German: tun - tat - getat
OE: don - dyde - gedon
ME: don - ???
