  • Comment on (A): -, pigsty, Schweinestall

    Not a botanical term. Cf. Meritt (1954,177), and Wynn (1961,932f): "Presumably lose stands for OE hlō­se, pigsty; cf. NE dial. lewze, looze, and see Toller, Supplement, s.v. hlōse. The lemma FRUTECTUM [...] normally means 'thicket' [cf. s.v. →þyfel] [...] It is quite conceivable that hlōse could also be used in the sense of 'pig-pasture', in which case FRUTECTUM might refer to a clearing in the undergrowth whers pigs were kept. Probably the phrase LOCUS UBI PONUNT originally read LOCUS UBI PONUNT SUES."
