  • Comment on (A): ? Carlina acaulis L., stemless carline thistle, Große Eberwurz

    SISCA = ? SCISCA '→eofor-þrote'; cf. Pheifer (1974,973): "snidstreo ... (sniþ- Cp. ...) 'cut-straw' ... would fit a type of thistle."

  • Comment on (B): ? -, sedge, some kind of ~, Schilfart, eine ~

    Cf. Wynn (1961,616): "SISCA ... ? Some kind of sedge, possibly a latinisation of OIe seisg sedge." The literal meaning 'cut-straw, Schnittstroh' (cf. OE snīþan 'schneiden') would suit a sedge species better than a thistle species. Cf. Brown (1969,II,800) on a possible celtic origin.
