GLOSSARY. 



Kmcean — cont. 



nymphcEct, Graff. Gl. ^lone, p. 290 b, 6, 

 corrected. 



The spelling qmce in Lacn. 4, makes 

 us suspect quince. 

 Cypnel, masc, gen. -ef, heniel of a nut. 

 " Nucli, cypnlar," Gl. Cleop. fol. CG a, 

 read nuclei. 

 Cypnel, neut., pi. cyjinelu, kernel, liai'd 

 glandular swelling, churnel, grumus. 

 Hb. iv. 2, 3 ; xiv. 2 ; Ixxv. 5. 

 Cyplybb, neuter ? rennet, Quad. iv. 1 4. 

 See Lib. Rennet is the substance which 

 turns milk to cui'd, for which purpose 

 is often used a calfs stomach ; hapan 

 cyj-lyb implies that the stomach of a 

 hare or leveret would have the same 

 effect. Otherwise cyj^epunn, Collo- 

 quium, p. 28 ; not caseus, nor yet a 

 cheese, but rennet. Unlibban is other- 

 wise declined, Horn. IL 504 ; lyb is in 

 Gl. C.C.C. Cf. Lacn. 18. 

 Claenie, gen. -an, fern. ? clover, trifolium 

 pratense. Lb. I. xxi. Amid a wilderness 

 of confusion, the ternate leaves of the 

 figure in MS. Bodley, 130, at Hb. Ixx. ; 

 the close relationship between hares foot 

 and clover in the old herbals, as Lytcs, 

 the similarity of the drawings in MS. V. 

 at art. Ixx. and art. Ixii. ; a comparison 

 of the drawings of clover, art. Ixx., and 

 hart clover, art. xxv., have convinced me 

 that I have rightly determined the worts 

 meant byl>apan hije and Claeyjie. Kipcnov 

 to which claejpe is equivalent, Hb. Ixx., 

 was in Dioskorides a pappose plant, 

 carduus parvijlorus (Sprengel). Lindley 

 makes cirsium a cynaraceous genus. 

 The trifolium pratense or purple clover is 

 in Gennan Kleber, Klever, Kleve, and 

 -klee, Rothe-, Gemeiner- and Brauner- 

 Wiesen-klee ; in Dutch Roode klaver, 

 etc. ; in Dansk Rod-klever, etc. ; in 

 Swedish Klof^er, etc. The drawing in 

 MS. V. Hb. Ixx. by itself "' won t do for 

 " Trifolium ; corresponds as far as it 

 " goes with Thymus serpyllum," (H.) 

 J. Grimm makes claenie clover. 



Clare, fem,, gen. -an ; 1. The greater, the 

 burdock, arctium lappa. " Blitum vel 

 " lappa, clace," Gl. Somn. p. 6G [63] b, 

 30. " Bardane la grande, the burrdock, 

 " slote \_rcad clote] burr, great burr," 

 Cotgrave. " Bardona .i . cletes . vel burres 

 " secundum aliquos," Gl. Rawl. c. 607. 

 " Elixis . i . lappa bardana . i . clote," GL 

 Harl. 3388. " Lappa maior . i . bardana, 

 clote," Gl. Harl. 3388. 



2. The lesser ; clivers, goosegrass, 

 catchweed, little bur, galium aparine. 

 "Amorfolia, clace," Gl. Somn. p. 66 [63] 

 b, 44, that is, love leaves, from cleaving 

 to passengers ; so Gl. Dun. Hb. clxxiv. 

 MS. O. The drawing, MS. V. fol. 64, 

 is " a very neat representation of aspe- 

 " rula odorata," (H.), but the aspernla 

 is not a burr plant, and the nearly akin 

 G. Aparine must have been in the 

 draughtsmans intention. It is called ^lA.- 

 dvdpwnos, as sticking to men and women. 

 " Philantropium, lappa, clace," GL R. 41. 

 Lappa, the catcher, from Aafii(xQat, lay 

 hold of, is applied like clote to both 

 these herbs, in other particulars unlike. 

 Clote itself must have the same sense, 

 and with exceptional vocalisation is a de- 

 rivative of cleopan, and for f cleojte, as 

 slice for f flihce, is from slean, f )-lej;an. 



Cliye, fem., gen. -an ; clivers. The greater 

 is burdock, arctium lappa. The lesser is 

 galium aparine. Lb. I. 1. '2. The same as 

 chjiiyjic. " Apparine, cliuc." Gl. Dun. 



Clij-pyjir, fem., gen. in -e, burdock, arc- 

 tium lappa. Assuming the syllable cli): 

 to signify cleaving, the Xanthium struma- 

 rium and the Asperugo procumbcns are 

 too rare ; the Galiums or the Arctium 

 lappa are common ; the equivalent yoxej* 

 cliye (Lacn. 112), seems to suit better 

 the burdock, which will grow in the wet 

 shore of a river, and so be eapyjic. 

 " Blitum vel lappa, clace vel cliypypc," 

 Gl. Somn. p. 66 [63] b, 30. Lb. L xv, 3. 

 2. Galium aparine, written cli'Sjjypc, 

 Lacn. 69, where occurs a gloss, Rubea 

 minor.
