Pronouncing some Anglo-Saxon Words

As an immediate correction, there are a couple of words (e.g. 'bitela') where I pronounce a consonant unaspirated where it should be aspirated. This was probably because I was focusing on making sure I was dentalising them. Thanks to fs2728 for pointing out that what I transcribe as [æ], I pronounce more like [a]. Here is my response cut and pasted: "Oops - I am leaning a bit towards [a] here! Having said that, the realisation of that phoneme won't have been exactly the same in all dialects, and while it's usually given as [æ] in textbooks, all reconstruction can really tell us (as far as I'm aware) is that it's an unrounded front vowel, more open than [ɛ]. Under the circumstances, I would argue that [a] is just as good a candidate." Spelled 'Eichhörnchen' wrong - thanks to SiqueScarface for pointing this out.
