Camel. The regular OF. equivalent for Lat. _camēlum_ was _chameil_. In OF. _camel_ the termination _-el_ is due to analogy with French forms derived from _-ālem_. See BH, § 43. Canoun. Church Lat. _canonicus_ did not mean originally ‘one on the church-roll or list,’ but one who was bound to observe a certain rule of life (_canon_, κανών). OF. _chanoine_ is not the precise equivalent of _canonicum_, but represents a Latin type *_canonium_. See Scheler’s Dict. (ed. 3). Cherche, _sb._ church, S2, C3; see Chirche. Clomben, _pp._ climbed, C; see Climben. Daw, _sb._ day, S2; see Day. Deburs, _v._ disburse, pay, S3; see Disburse. Dedeyn, _sb._ disdain, W, H; see Disdeyn. Degyset, _pp._ disguised, S2; see Disgysen. Deserited. For Desheriten, read Disheriten. Dide, _pt. s._ did, caused, put, S; see Don. Dilitable, _adj._ delightful, S2; see Delitable. Diuise, _v._ to tell of, describe, S2; see Deuisen. Druiȝest, _2 pr. s._ art dry, S2; see Drye. Dunt, _sb._ blow, S, S2; see Dent. Effnenn, _v._ to make equal or even, S; see Euenen. Ernes. A derivation of this word from the French has not been proved.—OF. _ernes_ does not exist. Falten. The form falt should be taken away from this article and placed under Folden. The words _falt mi tunge_ mean ‘my tongue gives way.’ For the various meanings of this verb folden, see MD (ii. 68). This correction is due to the kindness of Prof. Napier. For-swinken, _v._ to exhaust with toil; forswonke, _pp._, S3 (p. 364, l. 24). Frayd, _pp._ frightened, S3; fraid, scared, S3; see Afrayen. Habide, _v._ to abide, resist, S2; see A-biden. Hagt. Dr. F. Holthausen suggests that this word means ‘danger, peril,’ comparing this ME. _hagt_ with Icel. _hætta_ which has the same meaning. Kluge connects this _hætta_ with Gothic _hāhan_, to hang, so that it may mean radically ‘a state of being in suspense.’ The word must have come into England in the form *_haht_, before the assimilation of _ht_ to _tt_. Hal, _adj._ all, S2; see Al. Ham, _1 pr. s._ am, S; see Am. Haxede, _pt. s._ asked, S; see Asken. Here, _adv._ before, S; see Er. Heremyte, _sb._ hermit, S2; heremites, _pl._, P; see Ermite. Hulpen. (To be placed more to the right.) Ich, _adj._ each, S, S2; see Eche. Ieden, _pt. pl._ went, S; see Eode. Joutes. For _jutā_ read _jūta_. For other cognates of this wide-spread word, see Kluge (s.v. _jauche_). See also s.v. _käse_, where Kluge remarks that Icel. _ostr_, cheese, and Finnish _juusto_, cheese, are etymologically connected with G. _jauche_, and Latin _jus_. Kepen. AS. _cépan_, to keep, should be kept quite distinct from AS. _cýpan_, to sell. AS. _cýpan_ is the phonetic representative of OTeut. _kaupjan_, whereas _cépan_, to keep, represents an OTeut. *_kōpjan_. Cp. E. _keen_, the representative of AS. _céne_, OTeut. *_kōni_ (G. _kühn_). See Kluge’s note in P. & B. Beiträge, viii. 538. Mo. Add ) at the end. Note, _sb._ nut. A better explanation of _not-heed_ is ‘with the hair of the head closely cut.’ The verb to _nott_ means to cut the hair close. ‘_Tondre_, to sheer, clip, cut, powle, _nott_’; Cotgrave. Onond, _prep._ as regards, respecting, S; onont, S; see An-ent. Quene. It should be noted that E. _queen_ is not precisely the same word as E. _quean_. For _queen_ is the phonetic equivalent of AS. _cwén_, Goth. _kwēns_, whereas _quean_ represents AS. _cwĕne_, Goth. _kwĭno_. Senged, _pp._ sun-burnt, S3 (p. 364, l. 29); see Sengin. Sisour, _sb._ juror, PP; sysour, P; see Asisour. Stok. Prof. Napier maintains that the stokess of the Ormulum cannot be identified with AS. _stocc_, as the gemination of the consonant persists in the Ormulum. He suggests that stokess means ‘places,’ comparing the use of _stoke_ in place-names, e.g. _Wude stoke_ in Chron. (Earle, p. 249), He also cites in illustration AS. _stoc-weard_, ‘oppidanus,’ see Leo, p. 206. Sum (1). _Dele_ ‘sumere, dat., S;’ Twichand, _pres. pt._ touching, regarding, S3 (13. 271). Tyred, _pp._ attired, dressed, S2; see Atyren. Urþe (written Vrþe), _sb._ earth, S2; see Erthe. Whicche, a chest, trunk, box; whucche, PP; whyche, Prompt.; hoche, Prompt.—AS. _hwicce_; ‘Clustella, _hwicce_;’ Engl. Studien, xi. 65. Wike, _sb. pl._ the corners of the mouth, S (4 a. 49).—Cf. Icel. _munnvik_, pl., the corners of the mouth; see CV (s.v. _munnr_). The word _wikes_ is still in use in this sense at Whitby. See Whitby Glossary (E.D.S.). Wone, _adj._ one, S3 (7. 97); see Oon. Wyne-grapis, _sb. pl._ vine-grapes, S3 (13. 99). Transcriber’s Notes: Underlining Errors Alphabetization Hyphens Underlining in the Dictionary All underlining was added by the transcriber. You will see the following forms: errors noted by transcriber errors noted by author ambiguous hyphens (underlining intentionally faint) Greek words (underlining should be invisible in most browsers) text from Additions and Corrections (outlined as a block) Errors and Inconsistencies For errors corrected by the authors, see the Additions and Corrections section. Typographical errors are shown in the text with mouse-hover popups. Most errors are trivial, such as missing or incorrect punctuation or misplaced italics. Variant abbreviations such as “O.H.G.” for “OHG.” have been regularized to the forms given in the Authorities and Language lists. The word “invisible” in corrections means that there is an appropriately sized blank space in the printed text. Errors in Greek accents were silently corrected. A few minor variations were retained, including: “hedgehog” or “hedghog” Cf. or Cp. (_n_) or (_n._) _pt. pr._ or _pt.-pr._ Alphabetization in the Dictionary Unless otherwise noted, words are spelled and alphabetized as originally printed. Note in particular: The letter Æ æ is alphabetized as ae. The letter I is alphabetized according to its phonetic value, vowel before consonant. J is not used. Thorn Þ þ and eth ð (capital Ð does not occur) are alphabetized as th. The letters U and V are shown with the _form_ used in their source documents, but are _alphabetized_ by phonetic value. A few sequences such as initial Su- do not make this distinction. Yogh Ȝ ȝ is alphabetized after y. _Technical Note_ Anchors of Dictionary headwords are in the form word_entry (lower case) with these modifications: — æ, ð, þ, ȝ have been expanded to ae, dh, th, gh — diacritical marks and medial hyphens have been omitted — spaces (only in phrases) have been changed to _ lines — duplicate headwords are identified by part of speech and, if necessary, by number: word_thanne_adv; word_on_prefix_1. If the text uses numbers, as with groups of identically spelled prefixes, the anchor will use the same number. Hyphens At Line-End The book’s two-column format resulted in a great many line-end hyphens. Most hyphenated words were unique, so the ordinary tests (“Is this word, or a structurally similar one, hyphenated on its other occurrences?”) could seldom be used. Line-end hyphens in cross-references (“see”, “see also”, “cf.”) were kept or omitted based on the form of the cross-referenced headword. Note that hyphenization in this situation is very inconsistent. Except in the Additions, cross-references often omit a mid-line hyphen that is present in the referenced word, or include one that is absent. Line-end hyphens were retained in past participles in i-, y- and equivalent, and after the prefixes out- and to-; they were omitted before common endings such as -lich, -ship, -ness, -full. They were removed after Middle English un-, but retained after Anglo-Saxon un-. The remaining line-end hyphens were omitted _unless_ they were in the same location (morphological boundary) as the hyphen in the headword, or if the hyphenated word was a compound. Within these two groups, final decisions were based on more fluid criteria such as internal consistency within an entry, or hyphenization of other words from the same source. Words printed with these types of ambiguous hyphens are lightly underlined in the e-text. The position of omitted hyphens is generally obvious, and has not been explicitly marked. *** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK A CONCISE DICTIONARY OF MIDDLE ENGLISH FROM A.D. 1150 TO 1580 *** Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will be renamed.

Royalty payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, “Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.” • You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg™ License.

Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. 1.F.6.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate. While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate. Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org. This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
