GLOSSARY. 



Coyophpocu, also -e, fem., gen. in -an ; 

 carlina acaulis, Eberwurtz, carlina acau- 

 lis (Adelung). "The Carline thistle, 

 " formerly used in medicine, is not this 

 " (carlina vulgaris), but carlina acaulis 

 " of Linnseus. It was reported to have 

 " been pointed out by an angel to Charle- 

 " magne, to cure his army of the plague. 

 " His name is the origin of the generic 

 " one." (SirJ.E.Smith,English Botany, 

 plate 1144). Everwortel, chameleon, 

 Kilian ; that is xa,"«'^f '>"' (A.«vk:us), -which 

 ■was identified, rightly or not, by Spren- 

 gel, as carlina acaulis. " Eberwurz, 

 " cardo [read carduus'] rotunda. Euer- 

 " -wurz, cardo pana, al. chamEeleon," Gl. 

 Hoffm. " Scissa," a gl. in Lye, perhaps 

 a genuine name. " Scasa, ebop)=poC8e," 

 Gl. M.M. p. 162 b. " Colucus," Gl. Erux. 

 " Colicus," Gl. Cleop. " Colitus vel Colo- 

 " cus," Gl. Dun. ; -which I take to be mis- 

 readings of Co, for Cardo, and that for 

 Carduus, \evK6s. "Scasa vel scafa vel 

 " sisca," further, Gl. Dun. ; these are 

 attempts to read a crabbed MS. Also 

 " Anta," also " Borotium," Gl. Dun., 

 the last being the English -word eoj:op, 

 boar, -with a Latin termination. Lb. 

 Li. 6; xxxviii. 10. 



The x"M"'^^'^''> "which, by its name 

 must have hugged the ground, is wrongly 

 interpreted in Hb. xxvi., cliii., as a teazle, 

 •which has a strong long stem. 



Colone, elene, gen. -an ; fem., elecampane, 

 inula helenium. Lb. I. xxxiv. 2, and 

 everywhere. 



Colone Isefpe, flea hane, pulicaria dysen- 

 <er«ca, doubtless. Lb. ILlii. 1. 



Copnlice, earnestly, " diligenter." Hb. 

 Ixxxvii. 2. 



Gop'Ssealla, masc, gen. -an, Erythraa 

 centaureum, Bot. This is made the 

 same as Centaurea maior, Hb. xxxv., 

 and the drawings in MSS. V. G. T. A. 

 represent ErythrcBa centaureum, which 

 is " intensely bitter." It is, however, 

 C. minor, not maior. In the pictorial 

 Apuleius, MS. Bodley, 130, Se mape 



Cop'Sgealla — cont. 



curmelle, is intended for feverfue, 

 Pyrethrum Parthenium, which is " herba 

 " amara, aromatica," Elor. Brit. " Cen- 

 " taurya maior . i . }>e more centore or 

 " erthe galle, his flowrs ben ^olow in be 

 " tope, etc." MS. Bodley, 536. Dorsten 

 agrees with us. He figures Eryth. cent., 

 and says the greater centaury has leaves 

 like the walnut, green as the cabbage, 

 and serrated. " Eel terrse . centaurea . 

 " idem, muliebria educit .. habet in sum- 

 " mitate plures flores rubros," MS. 

 Rawlinson, c. 607, which describes 

 Erythrssa. " Centauria, cop's gealle [a], 

 Gl. Somn. p. 64 a, 5. Lb. II. viii., etc. 



Cop'Snafola, masc, gen. -an, earth navel, 

 asparagus officinalis. Hb. xcvii. 1, 

 "asparagi." So cxxvi. 2, masc. Oros. 

 iv. l=p. 380, 30. 



Cop^pima, gen. -an ? masc. Lb. III. xli. 

 conjecturallypoteniiV/areptows, since pima 

 stands for peoma masc, as in co'Spima, 

 gl. for ro^peoma, cf Germ. Riem, masc, 

 a thong, a strap. The signification is 

 therefore '^ Earth cord;" this is not ap- 

 plicable to the dodder, which does not 

 touch the earth, and has its own Saxon 

 name bobbep, Mone, 287 a ; the straw- 

 berry, which is almost a potentilla, has 

 also its old English name ; the com- 

 mon jjofen^i'Z/a re/j tons is therefore most 

 likely. 



Gop'S yps,neut.,gen. -ej*, ground ivy, glecho- 

 ma hederacea, the equivalent is Hedera 

 nigra, Hb. c, according to our botanists, 

 our common climbing Ivy is Hedera 

 helix, which name, however, in Plinius, 

 lib. xvi. 62, is given to a sort which has 

 no berries, " fructum non gignit." The 

 plant coil's yps would not be ground 

 ivy, for its cpoppaf or corjniibi are 

 mentioned, Hb. c. 3, but there is no 

 getting over the common voice of 

 England, which calls by the name 

 ground ivy, what is not ivy at all. 

 Hedera is of constant occurrence as ipj;, 

 and to be correct, the interpreter should
