Hello,
this is really a newbie question, still I hope for an answer.
In the online Anglo-Saxon Dictionary by Jonathan Slocum, I've seen the entry below. Except for Grimm at the end, I don't know to which sources is pointed. Especially the sources of the oldenglish sentences would be interesting for me.
Can you please tell me which sources are ment? (f.i.: L. Ath. iv. 3; Th. i. 222, 18. etc).
Kindest,
Gunivortus
