  • Comment on (A): -, lime-tree bast, Lindenbast

    L TILIA denotes 'Tilia L., lime tree, Linde' and in a figurative sense 'bast, Lindenbast' (cf. Klotz 1879, s.v.), bæst is only documented in these glosses. For the adjectival use see →bæsten.

Wynn emends to TILIA and notes (1961,638): "The MS reading TILIO is almost certainly an error. This, and the preceding gloss [= Cp 2045 TILIA lind] were prabably one original gloss, as in Epinal-Erfurt."
