[Fornix]

please phase this out and start using normal words... Portendeth? I speak excellent English but I still had to google this word (even google failed to understand)

So merely because the word was written in a rather archaic style, portendeth, you failed to understand its meaning as portends? Or is your English knowledge merely not as excellent as you believe it is?

Portends may not be a frequent day-to-day word after all, however it's not that uncommon of a word. Just search through newspaper entries for one and you'll encounter the word occasionally.
