Cf. Pheifer 1974,n.418.

Prof. Rosier (personal communication): "wananbeam; -n- superscript, perhaps in different hand."
[3]:
FAGUS does not go with wananbeam: cf. Erf 415: FAGUS boecce.
Cf. →ana-bēam. The gloss seems related to HlOl F 925 FUSARIUS. TRABS UINEE winbeam; cf. Pheifer's note 418: "Hl. TRABS UINEE is due to the corrupt winbeam". Rusche (1996,680) summarises: "Wülcker relates the lemma to the FUSANUM ARBOR, "spindle-tree." Quinn, who compares the OHG gloss FUSARIUS: spinnilapoum, suggests that the glossator saw FUSCUS in the lemma, prompting him to translate it with wan, "wan, dark."
Etymology: Holthausen (1974, s.v.): "wanan-bēam m. [...] viell. zu as. wānam 'glänzend'(wegen des gelben Holzes) u. ais. vanir 'Götter'?" This explanation is unlikely (also cf. Pheifer (1974,87, n.418)).
It attracts attention that the short vowel -a- of wan- (although preceding a nasal) is recorded as 'a' even in the oldest glosses (except in Erfurt: FAGUS uuonanbeam)[1]; maybe this is an indication for a long vowel which could have originated from a raised Gm ai. Was this the case wān- would be a-decl. with n-formans and the IE root *ųei- 'rotate, bend, drehen, biegen', multiple of 'flexible twigs, wickerwork, creeper' (Pokorny 1989,I,1120). That an n-formans is possible with this root can be seen in OE wine-wincla 'periwinkle, Uferschnecke'; wāna bēam (nsg. most likely is (sē) wana (or wāna) bēam, cf. Frangula alnus Mill., alder buckthorn, Gewöhnlicher Faulbaum). LB 24/29: wyl [...] holenrinde, fulanbeames, ananbeames) then has to be translated with 'flexible tree, biegsamer Baum', which is a fitting name for E. europaea.
