O. Schlutter (1907,400) suggests reading bofelle (without explanation): "Sollte das von Plinius 25/55 erwähnte BRABILLA [...] zu grunde liegen?"
Cf. Schmitt (1908,167): "Im Lcb ist w durch die Rune wynn bezeichnet. Alte Schreibung zeigen forcuuolstan [...], uouelle." Cockayne (1961,III,347) suggests without any explanation: "Uouelle, wolde, reseda luteola: Germ. Wouw." In the recipe uouelle precedes the plant name wād, Isatis tinctoria L., which is a dyeing plant too. Could this have been the source for Cocayne's interpretation? The word is not recorded in BT, BTS, BTC.[1]
