(_i.e._ we ought to have them all in mind). Bilhah two children bore by him, Rachel _called them_ Dan, Naphtali; And Zilpah two sons to him bore, Leah _called them_ Gad and Asher. [34] The tabernacle he _put them_ in. [35] He _set them_ in the firmament. [36] _ðei_ occurs _once_ only in the present poem, _þeȝȝr_, _þeȝȝm_, not at all; it occurs twice in O.E. Hom., 2nd Series. [37] Philolog. Soc. Proceedings, vol. i. pp. 73, 261. _Almigtin_, almighty, p. 2, l. 30, is the only _adjective_ I find with this termination. [38] The dative of the A.S. _bóc_ was _béc_. [39] _gebroðeren_ (A.S. _broðru_) occurs in the Semi-Sax. Gospels. [40] A.S. _cealfru_. [41] _cildru_. [42] _dura_. [43] _ægru_. [44] _handa_. [45] _cý_. [46] _lambru_. [47] _greiðe_ (prepare), _kipte_ (seized), _lit_ (stain), _liðe_ (listen), _mal_ (speech), _witterlike_ (truly), are found in Southern English, and may be the remains of the Anglian element in the A.Saxon. [48] Those marked * thus constantly occur in Northumbrian and Midland works (with Northern peculiarities) of the 14th century. [49] _fere_ occurs for _feren_, so _senwe_ = sinews (A.S. _sinu_, sing., _sina_, pl.). [50] As a rule fem. nouns, and nouns of the _n_ declension, take the inflexion _-es_; as, '_sinnes_ same' (sin's shame), '_sowles_ frame' (soul's profit), '_helles_ male' (hell's mail), '_werldes_ drof' (world's assembly). The Bestiary contains the following genitives in _-e_:—'_nese_ smel' (O.E. Miscell., p. 1), '_welle_ grund' (_Ib._, p. 3), '_kirke_ dure' (_Ib._, p. 6), '_soule_ drink' (_Ib._, p. 7), '_soule_ spuse' (_Ib._, p. 23), '_helle_ pine' (_Ib._, p. 24). [51] The forms in _-er_, _-est_, are properly adverbial and not adjectival. [52] _tigðe_ = _tithe_, tenth, occurs in l. 895, and _tigðes_ in l. 1628. [53] Orm uses the more Northern _ȝho_ (Northumbrian _sco_). [54] _get_ = she it: "al _get_ bit otwinne," she biteth it all in two (Bestiary, O.E. Miscell., p. 9). [55] See p. xix. [56] _ðei_ occurs but once only. [57] O.E. Hom., 2nd Series. [58] See pp. xix, xx. [59] See Preface to O.E. Hom., 2nd Series. [60] If _godes_ = god's, _seiden_ (pl.) may be an error for _seide_ (sing.), and _hem_ will then = _he_ + _hem_, he them. [61] Chaucer constantly uses _men_ with a _verb_ in the _singular_ number, third person. See Notes and Queries for Feb. 8th, 1873, where I have shown that the West-Midland substituted _men_ for the Southern _me_. [62] The genitive and possessive are denoted by one form; as, _ure_, of us; _gure_, of you; _here_, of them. [63] Because elided in these cases. [64] The Bestiary is far more accurate in this respect. [65] _gangande_ rhymes with _standen_ (O.E. Miscell., p. 21, ll. 654, 655). [66] This form is used when the pronoun follows.
