  • Comment on (A): ?? Calluna vulgaris (L.) Hull, heather, Besenheide

    This identification is too specific, the different L glosses suggest that the OE plant name was used to denote several plants with a moorland habitat.

  • Comment on (B): -, hat, Hut

    Cf. Pheifer, n.269: "CALOMA(U)CUS= Gr. καλυμαύκιον 'cap' [...] Cp. haet, Ld. het is therefore the correct reading, and Hl. GENESTA (-ISTA) must be a retranslation of hæþ" Meritt agrees with this interpretation (cf. 1976,110ff).

  • Comment on (C): -, moorland plant, Heidepflanze

    Several possible indentifications based on glosses: cf. ModE 'heath'; old names: MIRICA, GENESTA (cf. Marzell (2000,1,729); ALUCURUS is not clear; BROGUS: cf. Diefenbach (1857, s.v.) BRUGUS (= BRUSCUS = RUSCUS), Ruscus aculeatus L., butcher's broom, Stechender Mäusedorn; RUSCUS is also glossed by OE →fyrs 'gorse, Stechginster'; THYMUS = Thymus vulgaris L., thyme, Thymian; but cf. Diefenbach (1957, s.v.): heida, heidakrut.

Erroneously labelled as OE by Oliphant.

Probably not a botanical term; cf. Stracke, n.525: "For haet, take aet, "food, eating". The gloss arises from a confusion with EDULIUM, which is glossed aet at WW 391,24" (u.ö.).
