THE TTNE, THE LOBT BTJEN, THE SKEENE. 301 



To these may be added from Cleasby and Vigfusson, "Icel. 

 Mil, hill or hillock, and Mr; Ulph. hauhs; Gr. {h/^t^Aos ; A.-S. 

 heah ; 0. H. G. and Hel. hoh; Old Frank hag or hacli; Swed. 

 Mg ; Dan. hdj ; all, except the Danish, with a final guttural;" 

 and all meaning high, above, beyond. 



In Icelandic T'lna, to pick, cleanse ; Una grds, to pick moss 

 (separate it from leaves). Cleasby and Vigfusson. 



In Ihre's Suio-Gothic Glossary we find, in the sense of separa- 

 tion, " Tina, to thrash corn by beating, to separate the grain 

 from the husk, as tina sceden, to thrash out corn; Una notter, 

 to separate nuts from the husk, to cleanse, to separate from the 

 refuse ; from Gr. Setj/eij/, percutere ; also Tina, labrum, a tub for 

 washing ; the Prussians call it Uene. The word is very ancient; 

 even in Yarro Una is a large vessel. Hesychius gives the Gr. 

 ^€'ivo<;, for a kind of cup." 



in Danish Una means to hedge round; there is also Une, a 

 prong of a fork. In Swedish Una is a tub. 



" In A.-S. and the Scandinavian dialects Um is a hedged or 

 fenced plot, enclosure ; a word widely applied and common to 

 all Teutonic languages." Cleasby and Vigfusson. 



"In A.-S. Tina, Une, Tyne, is the river which, after passing 

 by Hexham and Newcastle, in Durham and Northumberland, 

 enters the German Ocean. Be Unan thcere ea. Juxta Tinam 

 fiuvium, by Tynewater there (Bede) ; and Tinan vel Tine-muth, 

 Tinmouth; Tinse fluvii ostium." Lye. 



Lye and Bosw., in their A.-S. Dictionaries, say, ^' Tyne is 

 sepes, sepimentum (a hedge), and Tynan, claudere, to hedge in." 

 In Du Cange and Carey's Ainsworth we find Una, a large 

 vessel for holding wine, oil, &c., a bowl for drinking out of. 



To Une the door is to shut it, from tynan, to shut. Tines, 

 harwoUnne, the teeth of a harrow, from the Isl. Unne, the dimi- 

 nutive of Gr. Tov, dens, to which I refer without hesitation the 

 tines of horns. Junius Etymol. Anglic. 



Halliwell, among other meanings of 'to Tyne,' gives 'also to 

 divide with a hedge.' 



Brockett has '■'Tine, to shut, to enclose. Sax. tynan, claudere." 

 Jamieson tells us that "To Tyne, Une, v.a., is, 1. To lose,
