Subject: Error report: Bosworth/Toller, page b0343, entry 35
This is a margin comment on: Bosworth/Toller, page b0343, entry 35
This is NOT an error report on the "fugel-timber" entry but on the search results for "timber". "Magu-timber" is in the texts (see below) but, unlike "fugel-timber", it does not appear in the search results. I can't see any reason why it should not have been included.
magu-timber, es; n. I. A child :-- Ðá heó wæs magotimbre eácen worden when she was with child, Cd. 101; Th. 134, 36; Gen. 2235. Mé sealde sunu sigora waldend, and mé cearsorge mid ðýs magotimbre of móde ásceáf, 55; Th. 68, 10; Gen. 1115. [Cf. Icel. manns-efni (efni material, stuff) a promising young man.] II. progeny, all those who are born :-- Ne sý ðæs magutimbres gemet ofer eorþan gif hí ne wanige se ðás worulde teóde there would be no bounds upon earth to those who are born, if they waned not through him that created the world, Exon. 89 a; Th. 335, 13; Gn. Ex. 33.
