Grayne, meaning uncertain, 2767 ;
perhaps it means (skins) dyed in
grain. (Orayue means a greave,
but this hardly helps us.) In
fact, we find greyn used in the
sense of ' stuff dyed in grain
in the Babees Book, p. 178—
whe{jur he were saten, sendell,
'•
vellewet, scarlet, or greyn." Or
it may actually mean 'tanned
leather ; '
for Hexham gives a
Middle Du. verb granen, to tan
leather, and graner, a tanner
whilst Jamieson gives grainer,
the knife used by tanners and
skiimers for stripping the hair
from the skins.
