Bisydes stondeth a feondes _trume_,
And waileth hwenne the saules cume.
_Les Unze peyne_, &c. MS. Coll. Jes. 29.
The same mode of expression used above occurs lower down, l. 24, "A
stalworþi man in a _flok_," which is also found in La[gh]amon,
Cador ther wes æc,
þe kene wes on _flocke_. --l. 23824.
And in _Sir Guy_, H. iii.
Then came a knight that hight Sadock,
A doughty man in every _flock_.
Trone, _n._ Lat. throne, 1316.
Trowe, _n._ S. to believe, trust, 1656. _Tro_, 2862. _Trowede_, _pa. t._
believed, 382. Sir Tr. p. 41.
Trusse, _v._ Fr. [_trousser_] to pack up, to truss, 2017. R. Gl. Hence
to _make ready_, K. Alisaund. 7006. Minot, p. 50, which Ritson was
unable to explain.
Tuenti, _num._ S. twenty, 259.
Tumberel, _n._ a porpoise, 757. In Spelm. _Timberellus_ is explained, a
small whale, on the authority of Skene, Vocab. Jur. Scot. L. Forest, _Si
quis cetum_. In Cotgr. also we find "_Tumbe_, the great Sea-Dragon, or
Quadriver; also the Gurnard, called so at Roan." [But the Sw. _tumlare_,
a porpoise, _lit._ a tumbler, suggests that the name may be given from
its _tumbling_ or _rolling_. The Dan. _tumler_, however, is a dolphin.]
Tun. _See_ Toun.
Turues, _n. pl._ S. turf, peat, 939. Chauc. C. T. 10109. V. Spelm. in v.

Vmbestonde, _adv._ S. for a while, formerly, 2297.
& heo seilede{n} forth,
þæt inne sæ heo comen,
þa _vmbe stunde_
ne sæge heo noht of londe.
_La[gh]am._ l. 11967.
It is equivalent to _umbe-while_ or _vmwhile_, Sc. _umquhile_. _See_
Stunde.
Umbistode, _pa. t._ S. stood around, 1875. _See_ Bistode, Stonden.
Vn-bi-yeden, _pa. t. pl._ S. surrounded, 1842. _See_ Yede.
Vnblithe, _adj._ S. unhappy, 141. Sir Tr. p. 171.
Unbounden, _pa. t. pl._ S. unbound, 601.
Underfong, _pa. t._ S. understood, 115. This sense of the verb is not
found elsewhere. It is in the present poem synonymous with _Understod_
(as Lat. _accipere_, _percipere_).
Understonde, _v._ S. to receive, 2814. _Understod_, _pa. t._ received,
1760. _Understonde_, _pr. subj._ receive, 1159. So in K. Horn, 245, ed.
Rits.
Horn child thou _vnderstond_,
Tech him of harpe and song.
where the MS. Laud 108 reads _vnderfonge_. See Lumby's ed. l. 239.
Unker, _pron. g. c. dual._ S. of you two, 1882.
Vnkeueleden, _pa. t. pl._ S. ungagged, 601. _See_ Keuel.
Unkyndelike, _adv._ S. unsuitably, 1250.
Vnornelike, _adj._ S. basely, or degradingly, 1941. The only word in the
Sax. remaining to which it can be referred, is _unornlic_, tritus, Jos.
9. 5. The following instances also approach the same stock:
Ne speke y nout with Horne,
Nis he nout so _vnorne._
_K. Horn_, 337.
Mi stefne is bold & no[gh]t _vnorne_,
Ho is ilich one grete horne,
& þin is ilich one pipe.
_Hule and Ni[gh]tingale_, l. 317.
[Ihre shews that Icel. and Su.-Goth. _orna_ mean to acquire vital heat,
to grow warm. Hence _unorne_ means unfervent, spiritless, feeble, old.
Thus, in the _Hule and Ni[gh]tingale_ it means _feeble_, _weak_; in Jos.
9. 5, it is used of _old, worn-out_ shoes. In the Ormulum, _unnorne_
occurs frequently, in the sense of _poor_, _mean_, _feeble_; see ll.
827, 3668; also _unnornelig_, meaning _meanly_, _humbly_, _obscurely_,
in ll. 3750, 4858, 7525, 8251.]
Unride, _adj._ S. [_ungereod, ungerydu_] It is here used in various
significations, most of which, however, correspond to the senses given
by Somner. Large, cumbersome (of a garment), 964; unwieldy (of the bar
of a door), 1795; deep, wide (of a wound), 1981, 2673; numerous,
extensive (of the nobility), 2947. _Unrideste, sup._ deepest, widest,
1985. In the second sense we find it in Sir Tristr. p. 167,
Dartes wel _unride_
Beliagog set gan.
And in _Guy of Warwick_, ap. Ellis, M. R. V. 2, p. 79.
A targe he had ywrought full well,
Other metal was ther none but steel,
A mickle and _unrede_.
In the fourth sense we have these examples:
Opon Inglond for to were
With stout ost and _unride_.
_Horn Childe_, ap. Rits. M. R. V. 3, p. 283.
Schir Rannald raugh to the renk ane rout wes _unryde_.
_Sir Gaw. and Gol._ ii. 25.
The soudan gederet an ost _unryde_.
_K. of Tars_, 142.
Cf. also _Sir Guy_, Ee. IV. in Garrick's Collect. 'Ameraunt drue out a
swerde _unryde_.' In the sense of huge, or unwieldy, we may also
understand it in Sir Tr. p. 148, 164; Guy of Warw. ap. Ell. M. R. V. 2,
p. 78; Horn Childe, ap. Rits. V. 3, p. 295. In R. Brunne, p. 174, it
expresses loud, tremendous. Sir W. Scott and Hearne are both at fault in
their Glossaries, and even Jamieson has done but little to set them
right, beyond giving the true derivation, and then, under the cognate
word _Unrude_, Doug. Virg. 167, 35, &c., errs from pure love of theory.
Vnrith, _n._ S. injustice, 1369.
Unwrast, Unwraste, _adj._ S. [_unwræste_] feeble, worthless, 2821;
rotten, 547. This word occurs in the Saxon Chron. 168, 4 (ed. Thorpe,
p. 321), applied to a rotten ship, and this appears to have been the
original meaning. The sense in which it was subsequently used may be
learnt by comparing La[gh]am. ll. 13943, 29609; R. Gl. p. 586; Chron. of
Engl. 662, 921; Ly Beaus Desc. 2118 (not explained by Rits.);
K. Alisaund. 878; R. C[oe]ur de L. 872, and Sevyn Sages, 1917. It is not
found in Jam. Cf. A.S. _wræst_, firm.
Uoyz, _n._ Lat. voice, 1264.
Vre, _pron._ S. our, 13, 596, &c.

Wastel, _n._ Fr. cake, or loaf made of finer flour, 878. _Wastels_,
_pl._ 779. _See_ Todd's Illustr. of Chauc., who derives the name from
_wastell_, the vessel or basket in which the bread was carried. V. Du
Cange, Spelm. Jam. In Pegge's Form of Cury, p. 72, 159, we meet with
_Wastels yfarced_.
Wat, _pron._ _See_ Hwat.
Wat, _v._ _See_ Quath.
Wat, _pp._ known, 1674. _See_ Wot.
Wawe, _n._ S. wall, 474, 2470. The phrase _bith wawe_, 474, is also
found in Rits. A. S. p. 46, which is left unexplained by the Editor, and
is badly guessed at by Ellis. By the aid of Moor's Suffolk Gl. we are
enabled to ascertain the meaning of an expression which is not yet
obsolete. "By the walls." Dead and not buried. "A' lie bi' the walls"
--said, I believe, only of a human subject. [This remark only applies to
l. 474. In ll. 1963, 2470, the phrase refers to the benches placed round
the walls in the great hall, whereon men slept at night, and sat in
council by day.] _Wowe_, 1963, 2078. Still so pronounced in Lanc., &c.
Waxen. _See_ Wex.
Wayke, _adj. pl._ S. weak, 1012.
Wayte, Wayten. _See_ Waiten.
We, 115, 287, 392, 772. Apparently an error of the scribe for _wel_, but
its frequent repetition may cause it to be doubted, whether the _l_ may
not have been purposely dropped.
Wede, _v._ _See_ Wade.
Wede, _n._ S. clothing, garments, 94, 323, 861. In very general use
formerly, and still preserved in the phrase, a widow's _weeds_.
Weddeth _for_ Wedded, 1127.
Wei, Weie, _n._ S. way, road, 772, 952.
Weilawa, Weilawei, _interj._ S. woe! alas! 462, 570. _See_ Gl. Sir Tr.,
Rits. M. R., and Chauc. [A.S. _wá la wá_, woe, lo! woe; now corrupted
into _wellaway_.]

Werd, _n._ S. world, 1290, 2241, 2335, 2792, 2968. _O worde_, in the
world, 1349. Cf. _Ward_ = world, in _Lancelot of the Laik_, and _Gen.

Were, should be, 2782. _Weren_, _3 p. pl._ were, 156, &c.
Weren, 784. Sir F. Madden says--Garnett conjectured _weirs_ or dams,
from Isl. _ver_. [If _weren_ be really a plural noun, I should prefer to
translate it by _pools_; cf. A.S. _wær_, Icel. _ver_, Su.-Go. _wär_.
Ihre says-- "_Wär_, locus, ubi congregari amant pisces, ut solent inter
brevia et vada. Isl. _ver_, _fiskaver_. A.S. id. unde _ver-hurde_ apud
Bens. custos septi piscatorii, Angl. _wier_, _wear_, &c." See _wer_ in
Stratmann. In this case the line means-- "in the sea-pools he often set
them," and the note on the line (q.v.) is wrong.]
Werewed, _part. pa._ S. worried, killed, 1915. [We should probably
insert a mark of interrogation, thus-- "Hwat dide he? þore were{n} he
werewed," i.e. "What did they effect? There were they slain." Spelt
_wirwed_, 1921. Cf. Du. _worgen_, and see Jam. s.v. _Wery_, and _Worry_
in Atkinson's Gl. of Cleveland dialect.]

Wicth, With, _adj._ courageous, stout, active, 344, 1008, 1064, 1651,
1692, &c. _Wicteste_, _sup._ 9. An epithet used universally by the
ancient poets, and to be found in every Gloss. merely differing in
orthography, as spelt _Waite_, _Wate_, _Wight_, _Wich_ &c. [Sir F.
Madden suggests a derivation from A.S. _hwæt_ (Icel. _hvátr_), acute,
brave. Wedgwood suggests Sw. _vig_, nimble. Cf. Su.-Goth. _wig_, Icel.
_vigr_, fit for _war_ (A.S. _wig_).]
