Symbolically, I see this common logic as illustrated by the striking similarity of the conclusion to the preceptive "Fortunes of Men", when after a long list of human vocations the poet remarks upon the variety of the divine plan: and in the identical opening lines of Riddle 31 and 32, praising the diversity of the divine scheme in the world of nature: Swa wraetlice weoroda nergend geond middangeard monna craeftas sceop ond scyrede ond gesceapo ferede aeghwylcum on eorpan eormencynnes.

Middangeard Middle English for Middle Earth in the movies of Tolkien's trilogy, still fascinating millions around the world with its characters and insights into the origins of the English language.

As it is a vast field of research I will be concerned with compounding only and will point to the problem analysing two examples: godspell 'gospel' and middangeard 'the world, earth'.
