It should be noted that the English words from saca to frimtha also appear in the Latin version with the following variants: Sacha, Wude, felde, tolnes, grithbreches, thiofes, flemene. The charter is then a patchwork of old and new; its phonological position may be defined by an attempt at a version in Late West-Saxon.

God ēow gehealde. It will be seen that the OE. phonetic position is largely maintained; noteworthy divergences are: #æ# as _e_ in hebbe, ercebisceop; as _a_ in habbe (occasionally in OE.), ealdefader; as _ea_ (= #e#) in eafdon, #æ# + #g# in deȝe. ænglelandes (also in H^1, H^2) shows a survival of primitive #æ#, characteristic of the south-east. en 12/6 for #on# is due to loss of stress; Layamon 8059 has æn; #e# + #g# is _ei_ in þeinas. #y# is _e_ in grithbreces of the Latin text and H^1, H^2 (but grithbrices is OE. #griðbrice#); _i_ in Cantuarabirȝ. #ǣ# is _e_ in bitechan, enig, eni, echere, toleten, þer; #ȳ#, _e_ in keþe. #ea# before #l# + cons. is _a_ in forstalles; frimtha is descended from #fiermð# with metathesis of _r_: the others have fermþe and H^1 also feormþe, forms without umlaut: #giefu# appears as ȝefu, but #giefan#, forgifan. #heora# is heara (early Kentish hiara) beside heore; scolden answers to a non-diphthonged OE. form. #flīema# gives flemene in the Latin text (so E, H^1, H^2, the latter also flæmene) and fleamene: alisendnesse is OE. #ālīesednesse# (but once #ālȝsendnesse#), the others have alysednesse. #ēo# is _e_ in frenscipan: _io_ in thiofes of the Lat. text, _ia_ in thiafes; #ā# + #w# is _au_ in saule; #ēo# + #w# appears as geau (ȝeu, Poema Morale, Digby MS.) with ȝ borrowed from the _nom._, helped, no doubt, by the general tendency exemplified in gearfoþe, ungeaþe of the MK. gospels.
