Abessie, E. III. 89. _Humility_. C.

Aborne, T. 45. _Burnished_. C.

Abounde, H. 1. 55. [Evidently _avail_; K. B. and Speght do not help.]

Abredynge, ae. 334. _Upbraiding_. C.

Abrewe, p. 281. 60. as _Brew_.

Acrool, El. 6. _Faintly_. C.

Adave, H. 2. 402. [Probably _beheld_; cannot be explained from K., who has nothing nearer than adawe (O.), _to awaken; awoke_ can hardly be the meaning.]

Adawe, p. 282. 78. _Awake_.

Addawd, H. 2. 110. [_Limply_. Sk. translates _wakened_ from B.'s addawe, _to waken_, which makes no sense. K. has 'adaw, _to awaken_; but it is used by the poet Spencer _to slacken_'; hence the meaning I have given.]

Adente, ae 396. _Fastened_. C.

Adented, G. 32. _Fastened, annexed_. C.

Aderne, H. 2. 272. See _Derne, Dernie_. [_Sad, cruel_, from K.'s dern (O.), _sad_, &c.]

Afleme, p. 287. 14. as _Fleme_; to drive away, to affright.

After la goure, H. 2. 353. should probably be _Astrelagour_; Astrologer. [A singular mistake for B.'s Asterlagour _an astrolabe_.
