with this word only in one instance, where Ritson leaves it unexplained.
Yn al this [tyme] was sir Ywayn
Ful straitly _parred_ with mekil payn.
_Yw. and Gaw._ 3227.
[It is undoubtedly equivalent to O.E. _sperre_, or _spere_. Halliwell,
s.v. _Parred_, quotes "[gh]e are _parred_ in . . . [gh]e are so _spered_
in." So, too, the Ital. _sbarra_ is the Fr. _barre_. Cf. A.S. _sparran_,
O.N. _sperra_, Sc. _spar_. Hence the derivation of _park_, O.E.
_parrock_, an enclosure.]

Per, _n._ Fr. peer, equal, 989, 2241, 2792.

Pulten, _pa. t. pl._ so reads the MS. l. 1023, instead of _putten_. Both
have the same signification. So in the Romance of _Rob. of Cecyle_,
Harl. MS. 1701, f. 94, c. 1, _pulte_ occurs for _put_, placed, and
_pylt_ in R. C[oe]ur de L. 4085; pelte, Sir Tr. p. 95. In the _imp._
_Pult_ for _put_, _place_, is used in _Hending the Hende_, MS. Digb. 86.
In the signification of _drove forward_, which is nearer to the sense we
require, we find _pylte_ in K. Horn, 1433, and R. Glouc. Hence the Engl.
word _pelt_. _See_ Putten. Cf. _Pult_ in Gl. to _Will. of Palerne_.
Pund, _n. pl._ S. pounds, 1633.
Put, _n._ cast, throw, 1055. _But_, 1040.
Putten, _v._ to cast, throw, propel forward, 1033, 1044. _Puten_, 1051.
_Putte_, _pa. t._ cast, 1052. _Putten_, _pa. t. pl._ cast, threw, 1023,
1031, 1844. From the Fr. _bouter_, Teut. _buitten_, or Belg. _botten_,
to drive or propel forward, or, as others suggest, from the Br.
_pwtiaw_, which has the same meaning, or Isl. _potta_. From the same
root are derived both _Put_ and _But_. Thus to _butt_ in Sc. is to drive
at a stone in curling, and to _put_ in Yorksh. is to push with the
horns. In the passage before us it is applied to a particular game,
formerly in great repute. _See_ Note on l. 1022. Cf. Ramsay's Poems, ii.
106. The word is still retained in the North, and Sc. V. Jam. and
Brockett. See _But_ and _Pulten_.
Putting, Puttinge, _n._ casting, 1042, 1057, 2324.

Quen, _n._ S. queen, 2760, 2783, &c. _Quenes_, _pl._ 2982.
Qui. _See_ Hwi.
Quic, Quik, _adj._ S. alive, 612, 613, 1405, 2210, 2476, &c., _quik and
ded_. This is the usual language of the Inquisitiones post mortem, which
commence at the early part of Henry III. reign. For the usage of the
term, _see_ Gl. to Sir Tr. p. 98. Yw. and Gaw. 668. Chron. of Engl. 762,
&c. The word is preserved in the vulgar version of the Scriptures, and
Creed. _Quike_, quick, alert, 1348. _Al quic wede_, 2641. Cf. l. 2387.
Quiste, _n._ S. [_cwide_] bequest, will, 219, 365. _Quede_, K. Alisaund.

I prefer considering it as a verb.)
Rathe, _v._ S. [_rædan_] to advise, 1335. A provincial pronunciation of
_Rede_. In l. 2817, it is still broader, "Yif ye it wilen and ek
_rothe_." In the same manner _Rode_ is spelt, and was undoubtedly
pronounced _Rothe_, Ly Beaus Desc. 425, and _Abode_ is spelt _Abothe_,
ib. 1118. Cf. ll. 693, 1681, 2585, of the present poem, in all which
instances the _d_ in _rede_ has the sound of _th_.
Recke, _pr. t. subj._ S. may reck, may care, 2047, 2511. Sir Tr. p. 124,
&c.
Red, _n._ S. advice, counsel, 180, 518, 826, 1194, 2871, &c. _To rede_,
lit. for a counsel, i.e. advisable, 118, 693; spelt _to rathe_, 2542.
Rede, _v._ S. to direct, advise, 104, 148, 361, 687, &c. _Radde_, _pa.

_Reng_, _Ring_, Sc. V. Jam. in v.
Renne, _v._ S. to run, 1161, 1904. _Ran on blode_, _pa. t._ 432. So in

Lutel wot hit any mon hou loue hym haueth y-bounden,
That for vs o the rode _ron_, ant bohte vs with is wounde.
