William, are you saying you are only now learning the word  "quoth"?

No. I had known of the word 'quoth' before.

I did learn things about its origin and use that I did not know before and also that 'cw' was used in Anglo-Saxon for the sound for which we use 'qu' today.

There comes a point where trivia is trivia.

Some people enjoy picking up bits of knowledge here and there and some people do not.

There is a saying "Never grumble away your opportunities".

I have found that learning things is often useful many years later in some situation, as well as there being the satisfaction of learning something.

Trivia: The word ‘quoth’ always comes before the subject; e.g. ‘Quoth the raven’, not ‘The raven quoth’.
