    Cf. ModE 'hart's thorn', NHG 'Hirschdorn', e.g. Cockayne (1961,II,391f.), Storms (1948,324); and →heorot-brēmbel; it is a loan translation of L SPINA CERVALIS (e.g. Dioscorides I,90) but Marzell has no record of it before ca. 1750 (cf. 2000,3,1310), similar the OED (s.v. hartsthorn) where the first recording is dated at the end of the 16th century.

  • Comment on (B): Rubi fruticosi fructus, bramble, Brombeere

    CELSA AGRESTIS and MORUS are Synonyms of RUBUS, R. fruticosus (cf. André 1985, s.vv.); SICOMORUS is synonymous with MORUS (cf. s.v. →hēope); these lemmata do not denote R. cathartica, therefore our meaning B seems to be a more probable identification. FRAGOS denotes Fragaria vesca L., Erdbeere (cf. s.v. →strēaw-berge); a similar gloss can be found in ClSt F 398 FLAGA [for FRAGA] hindberian.

    Etymology: 'Hirschbeere' in NHG denotes the fruit of the thorny bramble bush, cf. ModE 'hart's thorn' (cf. Marzell 2000,3,1311 and 1469) as opposition to the the nearly thornless stems of Rubuis idaeus L., →hind-berge (cf. Marzell 2000,3,1471), which is seen as the "gentler, tamer kind of bramble" (Prior 1879,115). (There are other etymological explanations, though, cf. Kluge 2002, s.v. Himbeere.) Banham (1990,130; also Lindheim 1941,n.14) does not apply this differentiation and suggests R. idaeus as possible identification for this plan name.
