306. _slong_, slung, threw violently; needlessly altered by Tyrwhitt to
_flong_. So in the Seven Sages, ed. Weber, l. 1316:--'Amidde the pit he hit
_slong_.' As _s_ and _f_ are often confused, I give some _alliterative_
examples from the Geste Historyale of the Destruction of Troy (E. E. T.
S.):--
'Sesit his sité, _slong_ it to ground'; 4215.
'Slogh hym full sleghly, and _slange_ hym to ground'; 13745.
'But the citie to sese, and _slyng_ it to ground'; 8851.
