    The specification þe hiopan on weaxaþ indicates that in the LB the lemma only can denote R. canina. Also cf. →hīope.

  • Comment on (A): Rubus fruticosus L., bramble, Brombeere

    OE brēr - just like its ModE correspondents brier, briar - denotes thorny shrubs like Rubus fruticosus L. or Rosa canina L.
