(6) Names, in which the connection with their modern equivalents 
or derivative is not so clear. 
ALWI These are two forms of the same name, which is not an 
E.wi } infrequent one in the Wilts Domesday: from the one we 
have the very common Wiltshire name AtLoway, and per- 
haps also the name Autius ;—from the other, a name well 
known to the musical world, Enver. 
AveELrrm ;—from this name we get Aptam,—and, I presume 
also, by prefixing an aspirate,—Hzrapiam. 
Arnetstan ;—from this, it is said, we obtain the name Huppias- 
TONE.

‘This name Corrie is a very common one in Wilts. The word may bea 
contraction of Cote-setla (or Coscet, as it is sometimes written in Domesday), 
a class of tenants who held small portions of land, generally about five acres, 
_ for which they were to render certain services to their lord. This class of 
_ tenants is only met with in Devonshire, Dorset, Somerset, Shropshire, and 
_ Wilts. The fact that out of 1750 Cotsetlas (or Coscets) registered in Domesday, 
_ more than 400 are found in the Wiltshire portion of the record, may well 
account for the frequency of the name in our County.
