There are quite a few words that were used in old English that are almost the same as they are now, and some that have nearly the same spelling but a completely different meaning. For instance, Shoppe. Shoppe used to be the most common spelling of what we now spell Shop. On the other hand, Protest used to be mainly used to mean "Declare publicly", but now is primarily used to mean a "statement of disapproval". It is still spelled the same way. There are some words that were completely supplanted by other words. Onuppan is one such word, and it has been completely replaced with "Above".
