272. #skinbon#, shinbone; OE. #scin-bān#, tibia, which if placed on the
haunch of the preceding hart would make swimming difficult. He should
have written chin: ‘Portant suspensum gradientes ordine mentum, Alter in
alterius clunibus impositus,’ T.; ‘chescun de eux met sa test sus autri
croupe,’ Bozon, 56/4.
274. Transpose, teð biforen: ‘Sed qui precedit fessus ad ima redit; Sic
se vertentes cuncti mutuoque ferentes | Nunquam deficiunt, atque viam
peragunt,’ T.
275. #tirgen#, to be fatigued: OE. #tiergan#, #tyrgan#, to vex. ‘Tirwyn,
or make wery, lasso,’ Prompt. Parvul., col. 499. But the word is not
original, it does not rhyme. Teren, representing #tēorian#, #teorian#,
to tire, would be better; *toren with shifted accent, perhaps influenced
by tor, difficult (see NED tor, tere) would restore the rhyme.
