l. 1108. Körner suggests ecge, = _sword_, in reference to a supposed old German custom of placing ornaments, etc., on the point of a sword or spear (_Eng. Stud._ i. 495). Singer, ince-gold = _bright gold_; B., andīege = Goth, _andaugjo, evidently_. Cf. incge lāfe, l. 2578. Possibly: and inge (= _young men_) gold āhōfon of horde. For inge, cf. Hunt's _Exod._ l. 190. ll. 1115-1120. R. proposes (hēt þā ...) bānfatu bærnan ond on bǣl dōn, earme on eaxe = _to place the arms in the ashes_, reading gūðrēc = _battle-reek_, for -rinc (_Zachers Zeitschr._ iii. 395). B., Sarrazin (_Beit._ xi. 530), Lichtenfeld (_Haupts Zeitschr._ xvi. 330), C., etc., propose various emendations. See H.-So., p. 97, and _Beit._ viii. 568. For gùðrinc āstāh, cf. Old Norse, _stiga á bál_, "ascend the bale-fire." l. 1116. sweoloðe. "On Dartmoor the burning of the furze up the hillsides to let new grass grow, is called _zwayling_."--E. Cf. _sultry_, G. _schwül_, etc. l. 1119.

"The sons of the Eotenas" (B., _Beit._ xii. 31, who conjectures a gap after 1142). l. 1144. B. separates thus: Hūn Lāfing, = _Hūn placed the sword Lāfing_, etc.--_Beit._ xii. 32; cf. R., _Zachers Zeitschr._ iii. 396. Heinzel and Homburg make other conjectures (Herrig's _Archiv_, 72, 374, etc.). l. 1143. B., H.-So., and Möller read: worod rǣdenne, þonne him Hūn Lāfing, = _military brotherhood, when Hūn laid upon his breast_ (the sword) _Lāfing_. There is a sword _Laufi, Lövi_ in the Norse sagas; but swords, armor, etc., are often called the _leaving_ (lāf) of files, hammers, etc., especially a precious heirloom; cf. ll. 454, 1033, 2830, 2037, 2629, 796, etc., etc. l. 1152. roden = _reddened_ (B., _Tidskr._ viii. 295). l. 1160.

Cf. _Wīdsīð_, l. 33, etc. ll. 1160, 1161. lēoð (lied = _song, lay_) and gyd here appear synonyms. ll. 1162-1165. "Behind the wars and tribal wanderings, behind the contentions of the great, we watch in this poem the steady, continuous life of home, the passions and thoughts of men, the way they talked and moved and sang and drank and lived and loved among one another and for one another."--Br., p. 18. l. 1163. Cf. _wonderwork_. So _wonder-death, wonder-bidding, wonder-treasure, -smith, -sight_, etc. at ll. 1748, 3038, 2174, 1682, 996, etc. Cf. the German use of the same intensive, = _wondrous_, in _wunder-schön_, etc.
