  • Comment on (B): Mori fructus, black mulberry, Schwarze Maulbeere

    MORUS denotes M. niger. The lemma FLAUI(A) is unclear, perhaps it relates to L FLAVUS, 'ginger, golden, rötlichgelb, goldgelb', c.f. →egle.

  • Comment on (B): ? Rubi fruticosi fructus, bramble, Brombeere

    MORUS can also denote Rubus fruticosus, cf. André (1985, s.v.). Banham (1990, 127f.), though, states: „As far, as I can see, the word blaecberig never refers to what we now call a blackberry.“
