Or "young animal, junges Tier"; cf. HINNULI CAP[R]INI s.v. eolone.
[2]:
The explanation given in the OED (s.v. horseheal): "The prefix hors prob. meant "wild" or "coarse"" might have been an additional motivation; also cf. Palmer (1969, s.v. horseheal).
[3]:
N.: "R. horselene; cp. 413."
[4]:
Cont.: biscopwyrte saed horselenan 7 saed 7 beolonan saed; there is a printing error, the passage shouldread: biscopwyrte saed 7 horselenan saed 7 beolonan saed.
ORIEBANUM cf. s.v. →ælere; ELNA and HELENA are recorded as synonyms of INULA (Gk έλενιον; also cf. CGL 1965,6,599); HINNULA and MULA (which is also glossed by elene, cf. s.v. →eolone) are also related to INULA but do not seem to be writing errors but reinterpretations of L HINULUS 'mule, Maultier'[1], or MULA; cf. CGL (1965,6,522): "HINULUS (VEL INULUS VEL HINNULUS VEL INNULUS) ήμίονος έξ ϊππου και όνου" and CGL (1965,6,713): "MULA ήμίονος". Also cf. the reversed process s.v. →eolone (note on ClSt, H 76.; reinterpretation of HINNULI CAP[R]INI as INULA CAMPANA). The oldest glosses only record the simplex eolone, therefore it could be possible that the name was motivated by an erroneous interpretation of the L lemma (horse-)[2], especially as the numerous variants indicate that the name was not yet consolidated. Also cf. the formation into 'horseheal' (OED, s.v.).
Etymology: NED (s.v. Horseheal): "The prefix hors- prob, meant 'wild' or 'coarse'." Also cf. LB (24/10) →eoh-heoloþe 'horse-, Pferde- ' heoloþe, which possibly denotes I. helenium too.
