Falten. The form falt should be taken away from this article and placed under Folden. The words falt mi tunge mean 'my tongue gives way.' For the various meanings of this verb folden, see MD (ii. 68). This correction is due to the kindness of Prof. Napier.

Hagt. Dr. F. Holthausen suggests that this word means 'danger, peril,' comparing this ME. hagt with Icel. htta which has the same meaning.

The word must have come into England in the form *haht, before the assimilation of ht to tt.

Joutes. For jutⱥ read juta. For other cognates of this wide-spread word, see Kluge (s.v. jauche). See also s.v. kse, where Kluge remarks that Icel. ostr, cheese, and Finnish juusto, cheese, are etymologically connected with G. jauche, and Latin jus.

Kepen. AS. cpan, to keep, should be kept quite distinct from AS. cpan, to sell. AS. cpan is the phonetic representative of OTeut. kaupjan, whereas cpan, to keep, represents an OTeut. *køpjan. Cp. E. keen, the representative of AS. cne, OTeut. *køni (G. khn). See Kluge's note in P. & B. Beitrge, viii. 538.

Mo. Add ) at the end.

Note, sb. nut. A better explanation of not-heed is 'with the hair of the head closely cut.' The verb to nott means to cut the hair close. 'Tondre, to sheer, clip, cut, powle, nott'; Cotgrave.

Onond, prep. as regards, respecting, S; onont, S; see An-ent.

Quene. It should be noted that E. queen is not precisely the same word as E. quean. For queen is the phonetic equivalent of AS. cwn, Goth. kwɇns, whereas quean represents AS. cwĕne, Goth. kwĭno.

Senged, pp. sun-burnt, S3 (p.364, l.29); see Sengin.

Sisour, sb. juror, PP; sysour, P; see Asisour.

Stok. Prof. Napier maintains that the stokess of the Ormulum cannot be identified with AS. stocc, as the gemination of the consonant persists in the Ormulum. He suggests that stokess means 'places,' comparing the use of stoke in place-names, e.g. Wude stoke in Chron. (Earle, p.249), He also cites in illustration AS. stoc-weard, 'oppidanus,' see Leo, p.206.

Sum (1). Dele 'sumere, dat.,S;'

Twichand, pres. pt. touching, regarding, S3 (13. 271).

Tyred, pp. attired, dressed, S2; see Atyren.

Ure (written Vre), sb. earth, S2; see Erthe.

Whicche, a chest, trunk, box; whucche, PP; whyche, Prompt.; hoche, Prompt.—AS. hwicce; 'Clustella, hwicce;' Engl. Studien, xi.65.

Wike, sb. pl. the corners of the mouth, S (4a. 49).—Cf. Icel. munnvik, pl., the corners of the mouth; see CV (s.v. munnr). The word wikes is still in use in this sense at Whitby. See Whitby Glossary (E.D.S.).

Wone, adj. one, S3 (7. 97); see Oon.

Wyne-grapis, sb. pl. vine-grapes, S3 (13.99).

ERRORS AND INCONSISTENCIES

Misprinted words or letters are extremely rare. Significant errors were noted at the point of occurrence.

Variations in source and language abbreviations such as "O.H.G." for "OHG." have been regularized to the forms given in the Authorities and Language lists. Errors in Greek accents were silently corrected. A few minor variations were retained, including:

"hedgehog" and "hedghog" (n) or (n.) pt. pr. or pt.-pr.

The word "invisible" means that there is an appropriately sized blank space in the printed text.

Cross-References

As noted at the beginning of the e-text, errors in cross-references are shown in [[double brackets]] at the end of the entry. Most errors are minor lapses in editing, such as adding or omitting a final "e" or "n" (in verbs), or forgetting that the text does not use the letter "J". More serious errors, such as references to words that could not be found in the Dictionary, are explained in separate paragraphs.

Typographical Errors

Listed here are minor errors such as missing, incorrect or superfluous punctuation, or mistakes in typesetting such as wrong italics. More substantive errors were noted in [[double brackets]] within the main text.

HYPHENS AT LINE-END

The book's two-column format resulted in a great many line-end hyphens. Most hyphenated words were unique, so the ordinary tests ("Is this word, or a structurally similar one, hyphenated on its other occurrences?") could seldom be used.

Line-end hyphens in cross-references ("see", "see also", "cf.") were kept or omitted based on the form of the cross-referenced headword. Note that hyphenization in this situation is very inconsistent. Except in the Additions, cross-references often omit a mid-line hyphen that is present in the referenced word, or include one that is absent.
