GLOSSARY. 



J>alrj'yjic must have been Campanula 

 trachelium, which in Danslc is Halsurt; 

 iu German, Ilalswurz, Halskraut ; in 

 Dutch, Ilalskruid. It is said to have 

 obtained these names from being used 

 for inflammations in the throat. In 

 English it is Throatwort.

The figure in MS. V. Ivi. to my sense 

 is C. Trachelium, with the bell flowers 

 spoiled ; to Dr. H. " a boraginaceous 

 " plant."

 (12G), thinking that perhaps Thors ham- 

 mer is alluded to in the name. Lb. I.

 j;)iune are mentioned together in Lb. I. 

 xxv. 1, there is much doubt in the 

 interpretation. Leechdoms, Vol. I. p.

Is not hamo)i)'ypc the same as Hem-

 from Ilamoji, a bird, such as the Yellow-

liapan hyge, "■ haresfoot" (trefoil), Tri- 

 foliiim arvense. In Hb. Ixii., Leporis 

 pes, haresfoot; the connexion of hy?;e 

 with the verb " to hie " is plain. Gl. 

 Dun. copies. The artist in V. has 

 omitted, as was the manner, the third 

 leaflet of the trefoil, and the heads are 

 eaten up. MS. A. has clover heads. 

 MS. G. draws Geum urbanum, another 

 harefoot, and glosses it, " Hasin uuohh " 

 " Benedicta," herb bennet. The later 

 hand in B. also glosses Avens. But 

 Fuchsius, the link between us and the 

 middle ages, is clear as to the trefoil 

 both by name and figure. 



)>apanj"pecel, -j-ppecel, vipers bvgloss, 

 Echium vulgare. Speckle in our usage, 

 the verb frequentative, in this case the 

 frequentative adjective of speck, j-pecca, 

 masc, (as MS.) is very applicable to this 

 herb : hare only means that where hares 

 live, it lives. Lb. I. xxxii. 2, 4 ; Ixxxvii. 

 Spreckle is now a Scotch and Suffitlk 

 form for Speckle. " Eicios, hai'au-
