Response to APERITUS:

The verb, "to English" is not of this author's coinage, neither is it current coin. It means, "to render in the tongue of the Angles." As for thaumazein, it is best Englished with, "to stupefy" and functions as a subtantive infinitive, so that it sands to say, "stupor," and "wonder," at the same time.

More soon.
