Username

My username is from the Old English poem "Deor". The poem is about perseverance in the face of adversity and each stanza is separated by the refrain: "Þæs ofereode, þisses sƿa mæg", literally 'That passed over, so may this' but often translated wholly as 'This too shall pass'. In Old English, my username was probably pronounced something like [θæs ˈo.verˌe͜oː.de], but I usually pronounce it like /θæs ˌoʊvəreɪˈjoʊdə/ (thass OH-vər-ay-YOH-də).
