[1]:
Cf. esp. Pheifer (1974, n.303 and n.927).
[2]:
Probably not the lemma intended; cf. Bierbaumer (1977,117).
[3]:
-an corrected from -e by same hand.
None of the L lemmata is sufficiently identifyed.[1] Rusche (1996,596f.) notes for COLICUS: "The lemma is probably a corruption of COLICE, 'a remedy for colic,' since this is how the plant eoforþrote was used. Cf. Leechdoms III. 70.23-4 (quoted by Pheifer, 303): wiþ breosta hefignesse and hrifes aþundennesse, 'against heaviness of the chest and swelling of the bowels.'
The literal tanslation 'boar-throat, Eberhals' is equally hard to comprehend, therefore an identification with C. acaulis is still doubtful. Pigs like to feed on this plant and it was used as esteemed remedy against epizootics (cf. Marzell 2000,I,844). The determiner -þrote 'throte, gorge' is hard to comprehend because no part of the plant seems to suit this term, Cockayne (1961,III,324) suggests: "The name boarthroat describes the bristles of the plant." Maybe the name refers to the plant's use against pig's sickness of the throat? Marzell notes that the in some areas of Germany the plant's root is used against pig's cough (cf. Marzell 2000,I,844.); also cf. →æsc-þrote, which precedes eoforþrote in LB 20/41, 30/22 and 30/24.
