N.: "Read LEXIUUM. The gloss mealtwurt is written above leh and appears to be partially rubbed out, since it properly goes with the next lemma [=ACINUM]. The two words are written with ambiguous spacing in J and are printed as one word in WW. BTD enters leah-mealtwyrt from this gloss and defines it as "some kind of wort"". LEXIUUM = LIXIVIUM "Lauge", OE lēag.

N.: "Read mealtwyrt, as in J."
Cf. BT and ClH s.v. wyrt 2. The lemmata ACINUM, ACIMUM (= ACINUS ' berry, Beere', 'grape, Wein-beere', 'unripe grape, unreife Traube', 'marc, Trester'; cf. MLW, s.v.) do not match mealtwyrt but they can be regarded as synonymous with FAEX 'dregs, Bodensatz', which follows in AntK (FECES drosna). Mealtwyrt fits the description of beer brewing, which in Is. 20,3,18 precedes the sentence FEX DICTA GUOD SESE VASIS EMERGENDO ADFIGAT.[1]
