  • Comment on (A): Allium cepa L., onion, Küchen-Zwiebel

    Cf. Löweneck (1896,55, note on 9/14): "enneleac wird anderwärts [...] durch caepe Zwiebel glossiert." Cont.: "Nim man rudan and ceruellan and enneleac and cnuca þa wyrtan togadere". The whole L text, not completely recorded by Löweneck reads (Renzi, iv,194): "RUTAM, SERPILLUM, SATIRIAM, BRICTOLA"; SATIRIA, an Orchis species (cf. Fischer 2001,276, s.v.v. Orchis mascula L. and O. latifolia L.), equals the SATYRION of the HA (12/13: SATYRION ƀ ys refnes leac) so that it might be possible for the translator / writer to confuse enneleāc with hræfnes-lēac, refneslēac.

    Our lemma is a variant of →ynne-lēac.
