  • Comment on (A): Mali fructus, apple, white, Apfel, weiß

    No definite identification possible. The attribute hwīt 'white, unripe; weiß, unreif', which is used to define →æppel (1), denotes a different, not identifyable subspecies, or a degree of ripeness.

    Glosses: Literal translation of ALBURNUM POMUM. Context: ALBENT APOFORETA HUIC ALBURNIS POMIS.

    Medicina de Quadrupedibus: The attribute hwīt 'white, not coloured; weiß, nicht gefärbt' is used to define æppel, which in this case refers not to →æppel (1), 'Mali fructus' but to an 'apple shaped fruit' (cf. →æppel (2), meaning B). In this occurrence the fruit is the (unripe) mulberry.
