Anpeyn

   I anpeyn most of the time.  I am at the moment anpeyning to do this post without any typographical errors.  To anpeyn simply means to try one's hardest.

The antonym anp was frequently used in the past in place of the now more common amp.  So if I were to reintroduce this archaic word into the language I should perhaps write it as ampeyn.  No one can say I don't ampeyn to give you the proper word for things!
