Cont.: nim hwerhwettan 7 rædic 7 smælne tunnæp 7 garleac; cf. Grattan / Singer (1951,160,n.1): "smælne tunnæp: smælne= tun næp MS. read by C as smælneam næp and emended to smælne næp; L. follows C. of course." C.s reading smælne næp is recorded in BT (s.v. næp).
Not recorded in BT(SC), ClH; the plant name refers to a cultivated variety; for example cf. WW 135/12 NAP SILUATICA sperewyrt, UEL wilde næp. Pettit (2001,LXXXII,624) suggests cultivated turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapa) as possible alternative.
