Cf. →hleomoc. Leomuce, lemoce are not recorded as lemmata in BT(SC) s.v. hleomoc. The form lemocan in LA indicates a short vowel therfore the hlēomoc(e) of the LB has to be changed into →hleomoc(e). I cannot support Förster's opinion (note on 124,168), FAFIDA was a corrupted FABARIA; I suspect that FAFIDA and FABARIA are not related originally but in later times were confused because of the phonetic similarity. The form FAUEROLA also belongs to FABA 'bean, Bohne' (cf. fèverole 'broad bean, Pferdebohne'; Gamillscheg 1969, s.v. fève).
