Þere, _pron._ S. their, 1350.
Þerl _for_ Þe erl, the earl, 178.
Þertekene, 2878. [Coleridge’s Glossarial Index has “Thertekene = mark
thereto. A.S. _tácnian_.” But this is a very awkward phrase, and I
should prefer to suppose _þer-tekene_ = by the token, i.e. in token.
_Tekene_ answers to the Sw. _tecken_, a token; and _þer_ is found as a
prefix in _P. Plowman_ in the phr. _þer-while_ = _þe while_, i.e. in the
time that. The only difficulty is that _þer_ is properly feminine (A.S.
_þære_), whilst _tecken_ in Sw. and _tácen_ in A.S. are neuter. _In
tokne_ (= in token) occurs in Shoreham’s poems, ed. Wright, 131.]

the Sc. writers. Wall. ii. 259; Doug. Virg. 182, 37; Evergreen, ii. 199;
Bannatyne Poems, p. 120, V. Jam. in v., who derives it from Su.-G.
_tigga_, Alem. _thigen_, petere. [See _tigga_ in Ihre. “Thyggynge or
beggynge, _Mendicacio_.” Prompt. Parv.]
Þis _for_ þise, these, 1145.

Dalden from þan fihte

_Laȝam._ l. 7567; cf. _Gen. and Ex._, 58.
Thit, _pp._ 2990. [The rime shews that the _i_ is long; and, whether the
_th_ is sounded like _t_, or (which is more likely) the word should have
been written _tiht_ or _tith_, we may be tolerably confident that it is
equivalent to the O.E. _tight_ or _tiȝt_, a pp. signifying _intended_,
_purposed_, _designed_, which is the exact sense here required.
Stratmann gives five instances of it, of which one is-- “To brewe the
Crystene mennys banys Hy hadden _tyght_;” Octovian, 1476.]
