_Lane_, 340, 357. From the latter reference I gather that it =
layer.
_Lapidaries_, 295. Early use.
_Learne a lewd man_, 359. Chaucer, to teach.
_Leaze_ (asses), 264. Sense pretty evident, but I know not the
word. Qy., same as lees, or leese, losings or leavings.
_Lewd_, _Lewdness_, 19, 358, 359, (Chaucer) 8, etc. Sometimes
ignorant; sometimes in a similar sense as lay, opposed to clerkly
or learned; sometimes wicked or nefarious. Lewdness, in 8, seems to
equal uselessness, or doing nothing for their living.
_Limitors_, 88. Chaucer, Begging friars, because their limits were
appointed.
_Loose_, _lose_. These spellings are used interchangeably in this
work, but, I think, are spelled the more frequently as they now
are. Cf. _Than_ and _Then_. _Naught_ and _Nought_.
