Ravens, adread (filled with dread), condemn you to your death (I think just an archaic usage of deem), beweep (none will weep for you, I think). I also hit a pretty hard wall at 1200.

switch the double-u for a w. Uuhiles becomes "whiles" (or "while")

> adrade(?)

"adread", meaning afraid

Still a recognizable archaic word, constructed from a still-in-use root. Just the spelling is different.
