GLOSSARY. 



;83 



Cop's yps — cont. 



have added nothing. Glechoma is Ger- 

 man Erd epheu ; French, le lierre ter- 

 restre ; Italian, ellera ten'estre ; Spanish, 

 hiedra terrestre ; Portuguese, hera ter- 

 restre. The errors lie perhaps in our 

 misunderstanding of the words Kiffads, 

 Hedera, -when used for that which is not 

 ivy. 



Cop, Ip, masc, gen. -ef, the yew, taxus 

 baccata. Masc, C.E. p. 437, line 18. 

 " Ornus eoji," Gl. Somner, p. 65 a, 40, 

 only proves that the glossator did not 

 understand the word ornus as we do ; 

 whether current notions are correct 

 appears questionable ; but at any rate 

 the old folk of England know the yew 

 out of which they made their victory 

 giving bows. Cf. ohg. Iwa ; mod. g. 

 Eibe, fern., the yew ; Fr. If, masc. ; Ip is 

 masc, CD. 652. 



Coji bejige, yew berry. Lb. III. Ixiii.

 Fsetelpian, — obe, -ob, put into a vessel, 



bottle off. Quad. i. 3. 

 Eeapn, neut., fern, Boet. p. 48, line 31.

 Eeaj>, Lb. I. xxxv., as opposed to micel, is 



paucus,pauculus, paidlus, little,Vike Goth. 



Eaws, 1 Timoth. iv. 8. Hence, perhaps, 



its construction with a genitive, Feapa 



pxa, Matth. xv. 34, a few of fishes, like a 



Few of us. 

 Feban, Lb. I. Ixiii., see Pref. vol. 1. p. xl. 



Matter for conjecture. 8e beopa pea^ 

 , bpeopse pebe'S, C.E. 94, 25, the deep pit 

 feedeth or keepeth them dreary. 



Fepe]ipuse, gen. -ean ; fem. ? erythrcra 

 centaureum. Hb. xxxvi. Gl. Harl. 585. 

 Any wholesome bitter might be called 

 feverfue, serving the purpose now sers-ed 

 by quinine. 



Felbmopu, " fieldmore," carrot or parsnep, 

 daucus cariota, or pastinaca sativa. 

 Though pastinaca, lib. Ixxxii., is now 

 decided to be a parsnep, yet the weight 

 of nearly cotemporary authority stands 

 for carot. In MS. Bodley, 130, the 

 glosses are "a carott," "flFeldmore." 

 " Daucus, wildmoren," Hortus Sanitatis, 

 and figures a carot. The Gl. Somn. 

 p. 64 a, 32, distinguishes "pastinaca, 

 " pelbmopa," (read -pu, as Gl. Dun.), 

 " Daucus, pealmopa [-pu] cariota palb- 

 " mopa ; " but the distinction between 

 a field root and a weald root is over 

 fine. " Pastinaca, imallimojiae," Gl. 

 M.M. The words should include both. 

 " Pastinaca domestica . i . parsnep." Gl. 

 Bodl. 536. The p. silvatica has been 

 improved by cultivation into p. sativa. 



Felbpypc, gen. -e, fem., gentian, gentiana, 

 Hb. xvii., where the marginal note, 

 erythraea pulcella, describes the drawing 

 in MS. V. The reading pelpyjic of 

 Skinner and others, from Fel, gall, gives 

 us a hibrid word. Probably, as in 

 Esthonian, the earliest name was pelb- 

 hymele, field hop, the plant being em- 

 ployed as a substitute for hops in embit- 

 tering ale. Then as the appearance and 

 leaves negatived this name, it was ex- 

 changed for pelbpypc. 



Fellepaepc, pyllepsepc, masc, epileptic con- 

 vulsions. Lb. II. i. 1. The word must 

 be interpreted in harmony with jylle- 

 seoc, pylleseocnyp. I had written so 

 much before I detected the equivalent 

 dpxojJ-^vas iiTi\n)y\/ias in Alex. Trallianus. 



Felrjjypc, fem., gen. in -e, feltwort, verbas- 

 cum thapsus. Hb. Ixxiii. The reading 

 pelbpypc is a mistake, the felty leaves 

 give it the name, whence it is also 

 called in German Wollkraut ; mullein 

 also is supposed to be woollen. Felc
