The spelling qmce in Lacn. 4, makes
us suspect quince.
Cypnel, masc, gen. -ef, heniel of a nut.
" Nucli, cypnlar," Gl. Cleop. fol. CG a,
read nuclei.
Cypnel, neut., pi. cyjinelu, kernel, liai'd
glandular swelling, churnel, grumus.
Hb. iv. 2, 3 ; xiv. 2 ; Ixxv. 5.
Cyplybb, neuter rennet, Quad. iv. 1 4.
See Lib. Rennet is the substance which
turns milk to cui'd, for which purpose
is often used a calfs stomach ; hapan
cyj-lyb implies that the stomach of a
hare or leveret would have the same
effect. Otherwise cyj^epunn, Colloquium,
p. 28 ; not caseus, nor yet a
cheese, but rennet. Unlibban is otherwise
declined, Horn. IL 504 ; lyb is in
Gl. C.C.C. Cf. Lacn. 18.
Claenie, gen. -an, fern. clover, trifolium
pratense. Lb. I. xxi. Amid a wilderness
of confusion, the ternate leaves of the
figure
in MS. Bodley, 130, at Hb. Ixx.
the close relationship between hares foot
and clover in the old herbals, as Lytcs,
the similarity of the drawings in MS. V.
at art. Ixx. and art. Ixii. ; a comparison
of the drawings of clover, art. Ixx., and
hart clover, art. xxv., have convinced me
that I have rightly determined the worts
meant byl>apan hije and Claeyjie. Kipcnov
to which claejpe is equivalent, Hb. Ixx.,
was in Dioskorides a pappose plant,
carduus parvijlorus (Sprengel). Lindley
makes cirsium a cynaraceous genus.
The trifolium pratense or purple clover is
in Gennan Kleber, Klever, Kleve, and
-klee, Rothe-, Gemeiner- and Brauner-
Wiesen-klee ; in Dutch Roode klaver,
etc. ; in Dansk Rod-klever, etc. ; in
Swedish Klof^er, etc. The drawing in
MS. V. Hb. Ixx. by itself "'
won t do for
" Trifolium ; corresponds as far as it
" goes with Thymus serpyllum," (H.)
J. Grimm makes claenie clover.

MS. O. The drawing, MS. V. fol. 64,
is " a very neat representation of aspe-
" rula odorata," (H.), but the aspernla
is not a burr plant, and the nearly akin
G. Aparine must have been in the
draughtsmans intention. It is called ^lA.-
dvdpwnos, as sticking to men and women.
" Philantropium, lappa, clace," GL R. 41.
Lappa, the catcher, from Aafii(xQat, lay
hold of, is applied like clote to both
these herbs, in other particulars unlike.
Clote itself must have the same sense,
and with exceptional vocalisation is a derivative
of cleopan, and for f cleojte, as
slice for f flihce, is from slean, f )-lej;an.
Cliye, fem., gen. -an ; clivers. The greater
is burdock, arctium lappa. The lesser is
galium aparine. Lb. I. 1. '2. The same as
chjiiyjic. " Apparine, cliuc." Gl. Dun.
Clij-pyjir, fem., gen. in -e, burdock, arctium
lappa. Assuming the syllable cli):
to signify cleaving, the Xanthium strumarium
and the Asperugo procumbcns are
too rare ; the Galiums or the Arctium
lappa are common ;
the equivalent yoxej*
cliye (Lacn. 112), seems to suit better
the burdock, which will grow in the wet
shore of a river, and so be eapyjic.
