The OE lemma was added bacause Cockayne (1962,III,143/18) translates cole with 'colwort'; but in III,142,n.6, Cockayne notes on this passage: "By conjecture ceoldre, curd, curd cake." On cealde swam Cockayne makes a similar observation (Löweneck 1896,53/11; Cockayne 1962,III,142/25): "By conjecture cealdre, pressed curds." Löweneck equally states (1896,57, n. on 54/4): "Von cole findet sich im lat. Text nichts." The L text reads (Löweneck 1896,52/3f): (CUM) DE GULA FUERIT, CURABIS SIC: SPONGIAS FRIGIDAS, CUM PUSCA ET SALE. Why can't cole spongiam not translate SPONGIAS FRIGIDAS and mean 'cold sponge' (cf. OE col 'cool, cold, kühl, kalt')? Also cf. →swamm.
