Old English Persealand, lage

(Notifying Leasnam, Lambiam, Urszag, Hundwine, Mnemosientje): Two words:

1. Persealand "Persia": Can't find this in any dictionary. The user who created it shows an interest in Persian things in general but not Old English per se, and the link to the Old English Wikipedia suggests that the user simply took the term from that Wikipedia, where it may be a modern creation.
2. lage "law": Can't find this in any dictionary. The normal word is lagu. The closest things are an entry in Bosworth-Toller for bīlage "bylaw", and an entry in Clark Hall that says "lage- = lagu-" (although compounds with lagu- normally refer to the other meaning of lagu, "water/flood/sea").

lage should just be the oblique form(s) of lagu (as in on Engla lage and on Dena lage), right ? ; not an alternative form. "Persia" is Persa, Persida, Persa rīċe, Persēa rīċe (“kingdom of the Persians”), Land Persēa (“land of the Persians”). Leasnam (talk) 06:25, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
