Following this reading (also used by Cockayne (II,296f) and in his translation) there would be ten instead of nine plants. The occurrences 42/25 and 102/14 which record brembelæppel as ingredient of similar recipes indicate that brembel, æppel has to be taken as a compound and therefore is one single plant, respectivley the fruit of a single plant (cf. brembel).
