  • Comment on (A): Clinopodium vulgare L., wild basil, Wirbeldost

    Cf. Kindschi's note: "The gloss probably stands for sæþerige 'savory'." According to Kindschi the L lemma SATIRION (= Orchis L., orchid species, Knabenkraut) is related to Is. 17,9,431[1] and was probably regarded synonymous with the preceding SATUREIA, which is regarded an aphrodisiac, too; it is quite likely that the gloss was initially associated with SATUREIA.
