This is a margin comment on: Bosworth/Toller, page d0327, entry 26


'thorn' uncertain

the symbol at the start of the sentence is used in manuscripts as being short for 'thaet'. It is a 'thorn' symbol with an extra line through the top. You can see it in the font 'Beowulf1' which I use a lot.

- just found it on your list.
