Empiricism is a theory of knowledge that asserts that knowledge comes only or primarily via sensory experience.

"inherently" >> by and of itself

How do you mean "inherently"? Innately? Fundamentally? Basically? Implicitly?

lustgryn >> pleasure trap, orgy (Ger. "Fallstrick der Lust")

Empirical Evidence >> Firsthand Betokenings?

forthschaft >> forthship 'shaping forward, onward"; state of what's to come (cf. worship, lit. 'shaping worth'; state of being worthy). SCHAFT = SHIP

What is in the forthship of English? What is in English's foreship?

@jayles:

ANGEWANDT can be translated as functional, applied, deployed, to make use of, practical (sense of useful "nuetzlich", at least according to the wordbooks) >> Adj. ạn·ge·wandt >> "auf die praktische Anwendung gerichtet"

Practicality can be said as "praktische Anwendbarkeit"

@jayles: "incontinence"

I know...but this is what the Anglo-Saxons called it.

@jayles:

yfelgeornnes >> evil, wickedness

wífgeornness >> incontinence

O.E. ġeorn (*gernaz; cf. OHG gerno, Ger. gern) > eager for, desirous of something; anxious, ardent, zealous, studious, intent, careful, diligent, importunate.

Truly, O.E. ġeorn >> Eng. yearn. So, in today's English, it would be "evil yearnings".

@jayes >>> remember Chaucer's "evil concupiscence"? I found the Old English for that..."yfel lustgeornnes". FYI.

Or, we could calque the boring Latin >>> seofoþa-mónaþ
