  • Comment on (A): -, plant growing in shallow water, Pflanze, die in seichtem Wasser wächst

    Cf. Schlutter (1910,318ff); the L lemma ALGA and the determiner scald ('shallow, seicht'); cf. →scald-hulas point to a habitat in shallow water; obviously þy̅fel can denote a single bushy plant as well as several plants growing close together[1] (cf. →risc-þy̅fel). The gloss sondhyllas 'dunes, Dünen' cannot be explained sufficently because of the missing context: cf. for example Wynn (1961,988): "Possibly the additional glossing sondhyllas, lit. 'sandhills', is intended to convey the idea of 'beds of rushes on sand-dunes.'"

It frequently glosses FRUTEX "bush, shrub; Strauch, Staude". We have to observe that FRUTECTA which is also a lemma to þy̅fel is used as pl. for FRUTEX in Is. 17,6,4.
