  • Comment on (A): Juncus L., rush, a kind of ~, Binse, eine Art von ~

    The name 'water-rush' indicates a humid habitat. In PD earixena translates L CIPERI, nsg. CIPERUM, Cyperus L., Zypergras (cf. Georges, s.v. CYPEROS), a rush like species which mainly habitats in the Mediterranean (cf. Hegi 1906,II,7).

    BREMIUM is not recorded anywhere else; I take it as a writing error for CREMIUM (L 'drouthy twig, dürres Reisig', later 'fuel, Brennstoff, cf. the gloss Ps 101,4: CREMIUM meos, spæc, tofan); this is a meaning perfectly suitable for a rush species. Also cf. Isidor's explanation for the synonym PAPYRUS: PAPYRUM DICTUM QUOD IGNI ET CEREIS EST APTUM. Rusche (1996,588) points out another approach: where the L lemma should be related to Gk βρὁμος 'oats'. He is not satisfyed with either explanation and suggests: "Perhaps the lemma is the same as in ErfII 272.25 BROMUM: SORDUM [i.e. SORDEM] MARIS".
