Our identification follows Cockayne (1962,II,381, and BT, s.v.) and is based on the equation eh = eoh, i.e. 'horse-heoloþe'; cf. the Angl. eh (a flattening of eoh) 'horse, Pferd' (cf. Jordan 1967,96). In the LB ehheoloþe stands next to →hind-heoloþe (hind, 'hind, Hirschkuh') therefore assuming an animal name is most logical. Cf. OE →hors-elene and ME horshele; also cf. Britten / Holland (1886,269): horseheele, horseheale.
BTS (s.v.), ClH (s.v.), and Deegan (1988,393) regard the lemma as a spelling variant of →hēah-heoloþe.
