lim-ræ-acute;den. The passage where this word is given as a gloss to chlamide is: Pro chlamide, quam angelicae puritatis liniamento . '. . adsciscebat, Ald. 35, 10. In Wrt. Voc. ii. 79, 47, which refers to the same passage, liniamento is glossed by lim-gelecg : it is probable, then, that lim-ræ-acute;den is a gloss to liniamento rather than to chlamide, and has the same meaning as lim-gelecg (q. v.).
