N.: "For the second gloss read SPINARUM ? cf. CARECTA: LOCA DENSA SPINARUM under CARECTUM, CGL 6,182." = CGL 5,355,35: CARECTA DENSA LOCA SPINARUM; 4,491,2: CARECTA LOCA DENSA PINNARUM (var. SPINARUM). Could the glossator have regarded PINNARUM as a word for BIPENSMIS "double axe, Doppelaxt" (to PENNA "wings, Flügel") and could he have replaced it with a prefixless form CURIUM (to SECURIS)? Cf. for example CGL 2,570,8: BIPENNIS SECURIS.
