  • Comment on (A): -, oil-twig, Ölzweig

    OLEASTER = wild olive tree, →ele-bēam, wilde. Stryker refers to a possibly related passage in Is. 17,7,61 (CUI INSERTUS OLIVAE RAMUS VIM MUTAT RADICIS [...]. LACRIMA OLEASTRI ARBORIS DUPLEX.) and notes: "The word eletwig, known only from this gloss, may belong with its lemma or may render the phrase OLIVAE RAMUS."
