Wyþerly, fiercely, angrily, B. 198; C. 74. Wyth-halde, withhold, B. 740. Wythouten, without, A. 390. Wytles, foolish, B. 1585; C. 113. Wytte, meaning, B. 1630; wit, A. 294; _wytteȝ_, devices, B. 515. {Wyȝ, Wyȝe,} person, being, A. 131, 579; B. 545. A.S. _wiga_, a warrior, soldier; _wig_, war. Wyȝt, quick, quickly, B. 617; C. 103.

Ynde, blue, A. 1016; B. 1411. “Þe toiþer heu neist (to grennes) for to find, Es al o _bleu_, men cals it _ynd_.” --(Cott. MS. Vesp. A. iii. fol. 53a.) Yow, you, A. 287. Yor, your, A. 761. Yre, anger, B. 775, 1240. Yþe, wave, B. 430; C. 147. A.S. _ythu_, a wave, flood. S.Sax. _uthe_. “Þe roghe _yþes_.” --T. B. 1045. Yȝe, eye (_pl._ _yȝen_), A. 254, 302.

See T. B. 414. Ȝarm, cry, B. 971. As the character ȝ in these poems always represents _g_ or _gh_, _ȝarm_ is evidently not derived from the A.S. _cyrm_, noise, retained in O.E. _charm_, a humming noise, the cry of birds, etc., but is from the Welsh _garm_, shout, outcry; _garmio_, to set up a cry, from which the A.S. _cyrm_, is itself derived. Ȝate, gate, A. 1034. Ȝe, ye, A. 381. Ȝede (_pret._ of _go_), went, A. 526, 1049; B. 432. Ȝederly, quickly, soon, B. 463. O.N. _gedugr_, exceedingly. The adjective _ȝeder_ does not occur in the poems, but was not unknown to O.E. literature. It occurs in the glossary to the Romance of King Alexander, ed. Stevenson, but is left unexplained by the editor. “Then bownes agayn the bald kyng, baldly he wepis, That he so skitly suld skifte and fo his skars terme; So did his princes, sais the profe, for pete of himselfe, With _ȝedire_ ȝoskinges and ȝerre ȝette out to grete.” (p. 172.) “_Ȝedire ȝoskinges_ = great (frequent) sobbings.” Ȝelde, yield, perform, B. 665.

See T. B. 414. {Ȝer, Ȝere,} year, A. 483, 588. Ȝerne = yearn, desire, A. 1190; B. 66, 758. Ȝestande, B. 846. If from the A.S. _gæston_, “afflicted,” we may render this term “afflicting,” but if, as is more probable, it is from the A.S. _gist_, froth, yeast, we may explain it as “frothing,” “overflowing.” Cf. the phrase, “the _yesty_ waves.”
