Already Sievers (1891,319) suspects the OE lemma to be a a writing error for →cudu, which in the form of →hwīt-cudu frequently glosses MASTIX. But cf. Meritt (1954,147): "cu, is equivalent to cīw as in ciwung, 'chewing'", "ter, is equivalent to teoru 'tar, gum', a word which glosses RESINA". In my opinion it is highly unlikely that besides cudu 'sth. chewed, Gekautes' (cf. HEW, s.v. cwudu) there is another word cūter ('chewing-gum, Kaugummi'), but it could well be that the glossator of AntK applied a secundary motivation to the cudu of his original.
