Nor are stuff and work unakin. Rather, they are groundwise the same, and one can be shifted into the other. The kinship between them is that work is like unto weight manifolded by the fourside of the haste of light.
(You could almost call it “Einstein for Newton’s era”.)
Interesting: I knew German used (the equivalent) of “coalstuff” for carbon, but I didn’t know they used “chokestuff” (“stickstoff”) for nitrogen. Per the German wikipedia, that’s due to its use in “choking out” flames.
This is beautiful:

And “sourstuff” for oxygen. Unfortunately they don’t use “sunstuff” for helium though.
We also use “waterstuff” for hydrogen.
“Speed” is Germanic, no need to replace this one.
Perhaps it was meant as a replacement of “velocity”.
(“Weight” is used for “mass”, making me suspect that something such as “heft” might be used for “weight”, i.e. “force”.)
