In 1008 appears _sagth_; in 1011 _hustinge_; 1014 _utlagian_; 1048 the noun _utlah_; 1016 _feologan_; 1036, 1046, 1047, _lithmen_, sailors; _lith_, fleet, in 1012, 1066, 1068, 1069, 1071; in 1055 _sciplith_; in 1036, 1041, 1054, 1045, and 1071 _huscarl_; _hamule_, _hamle_ 1039; _ha_ 1040; _hasata_, rower, (O.N. _há-sæti_) in 1052; in 1048 _bunda_ and _husbunda_; 1049 _nithing_; in the same year also the phrase _scylode of male_, paid off (O.N. _skilja af máli_); 1052, 1066 _butscarl_, boatsman, _hytte_ in 1066, _wyrre_ 1066. In 1072 for the first time appears _tacan_; in 1076 _hofding_ and _brydlop_, etc. We may conclude that the Scand. elements that had come into O.Eng. in the beginning of the 10th Century were not large. From the middle of the century they came in in large numbers, but the period of most extensive borrowing seems rather to be the last part of the 10th and the first half of the 11th Century. Wall suggests that the Dan. spoken by the Dan. settlers in England was of a more archaic kind than that spoken in Denmark--that this might in many cases account for the archaic character of the loanwords. We know that the settlements in central England were predominantly Dan. as opposed to Norse. The Scand. place-names as well as the character of the loanwords in the Ormulum indicate that. It is probable, then, that monophthongation took place later in the Dan. spoken in England than in that spoken in Denmark. The following is a list of some of these words found in Scotch. O.N. _æi_, Dan. _e_: _bayt_, to graze; _blaik_, to cleanse; _graip_, a fork; _grane_, a branch; _graith_, to prepare; _laike_, to play; _slaik_, to smoothen; _lairing_, gutter; the Yorkshire form _lyring_ (Wall) seems to show an original monophthong. O.N. _öy_: _careing_, _smaik_. O.N. _ou_, Dan. _ö_: _blout_, bare; _douff_, dull; _gowk_, a fool; _haugh_, a knoll; _loup_, to run; _louse_, loose; _nout_, cattle; _rowt_, to roar; _rowst_, to cry out; _stowp_, a beaker; _stour_, a pole.
