The poet wishes here to emphasize the fact that the helmet was made entirely of metal, a thing which was very unusual.--3) in the passage, forgeaf þâ Beówulfe brand Healfdenes segen gyldenne, 1021, our text, with other editions, has emendated, bearn, since brand, if it be intended as a designation of Hrôðgâr (perhaps _son_), has not up to this time been found in this sense in A.-S. brant, bront, adj., _raging, foaming, going-high_, of ships and of waves: acc. sg. brontne, 238, 568. brâd, adj.: 1) _extended, wide_: nom. pl. brâde rîce, 2208.--2) _broad_: nom. sg. heáh and brâd (of Beówulf's grave-mound), 3159; acc. sg. brâdne mêce, 2979; (seax) brâd [and] brûnecg, _the broad, short sword with bright edge_, 1547.--3) _massive, in abundance_. acc, sg. brâd gold, 3106. ge-bräc, st. n., _noise, crash_: acc. sg. borda gebräc, 2260. geond-brædan, w. v., _to spread over, to cover entirely_: pret. part. geond-bræded, 1240.
