  • Comment on (A): Fagus L., beech, a species of ~, Buche, eine Art von ~

    L AESCULUS (ESCULUS) denotes a Mediterranean oak species, most problably Quercus frainetto Ten., Hungarian oak, Ungarische Eiche (cf. Friedrich 1970,133, and André, s.v. AESCULUS). This erroneous interpretation can be found in several glosses and HA LXXVIII: ESCULI ARBORIS = becenan treowes →bēcen.
