L text (Löweneck 1896,20/8): LIBANUM. Cf. Löwenecks"s note: "LIBANUM = TUS."
Like the ModE 'frankincense' (cf. OED, s.v. frankincense) hwīt stōr denotes incense of a very high quality. In Ps 71,16 LIBANUM refers to the Libanon mountains but the glossator of the model for F and J interpreted it as 'incense, Weihrauch': cf. for example PD 21,23 where hwitne stor translates LIBANUM; the hwit stor of the model became in F hwīt stōw 'white plaza, weißer Platz', and in J hwīt tor 'white tower, weißer Turm' or 'white rock, weißer Fels' (also cf. Bierbaumer, Anglia 1979).
