Lastly, to take an example peculiar to Corp., the explanation
of saliunca as 'sorrel' (S 78 Saliunca: sure) seems a mere guess
at the all-Latin item (S 39 Saliunca herba est medicalis, etc.),
an item taken (as Leirl. shews us) from a note on Isai. 55, 13.
Many of these identifications are really
as certain as the
following type: Acclinis: resupinus et incumbens (Corp, A 152)
and Acclinis: tohald vel incumbens (Corp. A 203); Descivit: wid-
stylde, pedem retraxit (Corp. D 115) and Erf^ (284, 13 = Abstr.
48, 18 Descivit: pedem retraxit); Delectum: cyri vel electio-
(Corp. D 126) and Erf.^ (284, 39) Delectum: electio; Divortium:
weggedal, repudium (Corp. D 233) and Erf.^ (286, 19 = Abstr.
54, 4) Divortium: repudium, etc., etc. Many of these Ags. words
are mere intruders in the Corpus College MS., inserted by a
corrector (e.g. D 233 weggedal; D 290 meniu; E 283 haegtis,
etc., etc.). Many others were similar intruders in the exemplar.
Beside the intentional re-casting and splitting of glosses we
have the unintentional variety, which is equally productive of
