SHG, p.50: "But CIPUS is also a variant of SCYPHUS, "bowl, goblet, cup", and spelled CIPPUS it is a variant of GIBBUS."
[2]:
Oliphant, A.: "ac is written above the first part of the lemma. WW 204,36 prints acdrenc, but HDS points out that ac belongs with the lemma. The lemma can be read as TIRIACA, a good lemma for drenc. The second gloss takes the lemma as CIRTUS."
The lemma is problably not a botanical term. For drenc cf. BTC: "ācdrenc, ? delete in citations for CIRTA, acdrenc, read TIRIACA, drenc (cf. WW 114,19 [= TIRIACA, drenc wiþ attre]); another explanation SHG 49."
In SHG 49 Meritt refers to the gloss CIPUS cipeleac (ClSt C736) immediately before CIRTA ("A Medieval Latin word meaning 'hump'") which he declares a gloss to CIPUS, arguing that the original glossator saw CIPUS both as 'leek', 'Lauch' and a variant of SCYPHUS 'cup', 'Becher'[1] and therefore glossed it with drenc ("which word means not only 'drink' but also 'cup'"). Following Meritt we have to assume that there have been three glosses to CIPUS: cipeleac, drenc, and CIRTA, which have been organised into the two entries CIPUS cipeleac and CIRTA acdrenc. Meritt sees ac as "final part of cipeleac." His arguments are not conclusive because we have not found any OE glosses that translate CIPUS / CIPPUS as 'cup', 'Becher.' If CIPUS was meant as 'cup', 'Becher,' the gloss would probably have been bolla 'Becher' and not drenc.
