NOTE
THIS glossary does not aim at completeness, and it is not good working primarily a glossary of rare or 'hard' words. knowledge of Middle English depends less on the possession of an abstruse vocabulary than on familiarity with the ordinary machinery of expression with the precise forms and meanings that common words may assume ; with the uses of such innocent-looking little words as the prepositions of and for; with idiomatic phrases, some fresh-minted and some worn thin, but all likely to recur again and again in an age whose authors took no pains to avoid usual or hackneyed turns of expression. These are the features of the older
language which an English reader is predisposed to pass over, and space seldom permits of their satisfied with a half-recognition adequate treatment in a compendious general dictionary or the So in making a glossary for use with word-list to a single text. a book itself designed to be a preparation for the reading of complete texts, I have given exceptionally full treatment to what may rightly be called the backbone of the language. Brief indications of the etymology of each word are given, with references in difficult cases to the Oxford English Dictionary (N.E.D.}. Apart from their usefulness as a basis for exercises in phonology and the analysis of vocabulary, these will serve to differ:
entiate
words
distinct in origin
which coincide
in
some
of their
forms or spellings. The Old English or Old French forms cited are those that best illustrate the Middle English in consequence the Old English forms frequently differ from normal West-baxon, and the Old French forms are especially those of the French current
;
in England (Anglo-French is rarely specified). Old Norse words have usually been cited in the normal spelling (e.g. of Zoega's Old Icelandic Dictionary}, Accordingly, long vowels in Old Norse words are marked as in brdj)-r. In Old English words stable long vowels are marked as in brad] uncertain quantity or probable shortening in Old English times is marked as in adrsedd; vowels that were lengthened in the Old English period (e.g. before Id, mb, nd) are marked as in cdld, climban, bindan. For the convenience of beginners the glossary is liberally supplied with cross references, and the prefixed Table summarizes the Particular attention should principal variations of form or spelling. be given to the following points of arrangement (i) 5 has a separate
