  • Comment on (A): -, barley-corn, Gerstenkorn

    L PTISANA = 'tamped and cleaned (from the husk) barley, barley groats, die gestampfte, von der Hülse gereinigte Gerste, Gersten­grütze'; for beorende, etc. cf. Pheifer, (1974,n.790): "? Vulg. Prov.27:22 QUASI PTISANAS FERIENTE DESUPER PILO [...] the form belongs to class IV beran (cf. Cp [...] beorende), presumably translating a variant reading ferente"; and Brown (1969,II,714-715). Also cf. TI­PSANA s.v. →beren.
