MS bleodū; WW bleodu. The gloss is a dpl. so it might belong to another lemma.
Cf. Qliphant's, note: "From this source BTS enters bleodu 'corn'. Behind the Old English gloss, however, may lie Isidore's discussion of FAR at 17,3,5: IN PILA MISSUM FRANGEBANT; ET HOC ERAT GENUS MOLENDI. As a form of Old English bledu 'bow' [read 'bowl'], bleodum would be an appropriate gloss for PILA [= 'Mörser]." We can hold against that the frequently glossed PILA is never glossed with bledu.
