#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:

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.
