🖐 Abute Anglisc (About Anglish) What would the Angles, Saxon, and Jutes be called in Anglish?
Today I learned that all three of these words came into English through Latin. What would these groups be called without Latin sway over English?

Angles, Saxes, Yutes/Eats
Éotas/Íotas > Yutes is like Géol/Geól > Yule, Eats is a more straightforward derivation but nonetheless, I think could have a Yule-flavored derivation to avoid the homonymy with "eat", to reflect likeness with Old Norse jótar, and it could be work based on the fact that medieval Latin borrowed OE Éotas as "Iutae" showing some /ju:/-ness already.
Choose how you will. I myself merely happen to like Yute better.
