This verb is thrice found in P. Ploughman’s Crede, ll. 142, 168, 339. Although it would appear a rare word from its not appearing in Hearne, Ritson, or Weber, yet in later times it, occurs often, and is instanced by Jamieson from Patten’s Account of Somerset’s Expedicion, p. 53, and by Nares from Hall, Latimer, Spenser, and Fairfax. It also occurs four times in theAncren Riwle, ed. Morton, 1853. In Sc. it is pronouncedTete, which is derived by Jam. from the same stock as Su.-G.titt-a, explained by Ihre, “Per transennam veluti videre, ut solent curiosi, aut post tegmina latentes.” V. the authorities quoted, Todd’s Johns. and Wilbr.

In Cotgr. also we find “Tumbe, the great Sea-Dragon, or Quadriver; also the Gurnard, called so at Roan.” [But the Sw.tumlare, a porpoise,lit.a tumbler, suggests that the name may be given from itstumblingorrolling. The Dan.tumler, however, is a dolphin.]Tun.SeeToun.Turues,n. pl.S. turf, peat, 939. Chauc. C. T. 10109. V. Spelm. in v. and Jennings’ Somersetsh.

The only word in the Sax. remaining to which it can be referred, isunornlic, tritus, Jos. 9. 5. The following instances also approach the same stock:Ne speke y nout with Horne,Nis he nout sovnorne.K. Horn, 337.Mi stefne is bold & noȝtvnorne,Ho is ilich one grete horne,& þin is ilich one pipe.Hule and Niȝtingale, l. 317.[Ihre shews that Icel. and Su.-Goth.ornamean to acquire vital heat, to grow warm. Henceunornemeans unfervent, spiritless, feeble, old. Thus, in theHule and Niȝtingaleit meansfeeble,weak; in Jos. 9. 5, it is used ofold, worn-outshoes. In the Ormulum,unnorneoccurs frequently, in the senseofpoor,mean,feeble; see ll. 827, 3668; alsounnornelig, meaningmeanly,humbly,obscurely, in ll. 3750, 4858, 7525, 8251.]Unride,adj.S. [ungereod, ungerydu] It is here used in various significations, most of which, however, correspond to the senses given by Somner. Large, cumbersome (of a garment), 964; unwieldy (of the bar of a door), 1795; deep, wide (of a wound), 1981, 2673; numerous, extensive (of the nobility), 2947.Unrideste, sup.deepest, widest, 1985. In the second sense we find it in Sir Tristr. p. 167,Dartes welunrideBeliagog set gan.And inGuy of Warwick, ap. Ellis, M. R. V. 2, p. 79.A targe he had ywrought full well,Other metal was ther none but steel,A mickle andunrede.In the fourth sense we have these examples:Opon Inglond for to wereWith stout ost andunride.Horn Childe, ap.

Ell. M. R. V. 2, p. 78; Horn Childe, ap. Rits. V. 3, p. 295. In R. Brunne, p. 174, it expresses loud, tremendous. Sir W. Scott and Hearne are both at fault in their Glossaries, and even Jamieson has done but little to set them right, beyond giving the true derivation, and then, under the cognate wordUnrude, Doug. Virg. 167, 35, &c., errs from pure love of theory.Vnrith,n.S. injustice, 1369.Unwrast, Unwraste,adj.S. [unwræste] feeble, worthless, 2821; rotten, 547. This word occurs in the Saxon Chron. 168, 4 (ed. Thorpe, p. 321), applied to a rotten ship, and this appears to have been the original meaning. The sense in which it was subsequently used may be learnt by comparing Laȝam. ll. 13943, 29609; R. Gl. p. 586; Chron. of Engl. 662, 921; Ly Beaus Desc. 2118 (not explained by Rits.); K.

The phrasebith wawe, 474, is also found in Rits. A. S. p. 46, which is left unexplained by the Editor, and is badly guessed at by Ellis. By the aid of Moor’s Suffolk Gl. we are enabled to ascertain the meaning of an expression which is not yet obsolete. “By the walls.” Dead and not buried. “A’ lie bi’ the walls” —said, I believe, only of a human subject. [This remark only applies to l. 474. In ll. 1963, 2470, the phrase refers to the benches placed round the walls in the great hall, whereon men slept at night, and sat in council by day.]Wowe, 1963, 2078.

Totede,pa. t.peeped, looked, 2106. This verb is thrice found in P. Ploughman’s Crede, ll. 142, 168, 339. Although it would appear a rare word from its not appearing in Hearne, Ritson, or Weber, yet in later times it, occurs often, and is instanced by Jamieson from Patten’s Account of Somerset’s Expedicion, p. 53, and by Nares from Hall, Latimer, Spenser, and Fairfax. It also occurs four times in theAncren Riwle, ed. Morton, 1853. In Sc. it is pronouncedTete, which is derived by Jam. from the same stock as Su.-G.titt-a, explained by Ihre, “Per transennam veluti videre, ut solent curiosi, aut post tegmina latentes.” V. the authorities quoted, Todd’s Johns. and Wilbr.

Vnornelike,adj.S. basely, or degradingly, 1941. The only word in the Sax. remaining to which it can be referred, isunornlic, tritus, Jos. 9. 5. The following instances also approach the same stock:

Ne speke y nout with Horne,Nis he nout sovnorne.

Ne speke y nout with Horne,

Nis he nout sovnorne.

K. Horn, 337.

[Ihre shews that Icel. and Su.-Goth.ornamean to acquire vital heat, to grow warm. Henceunornemeans unfervent, spiritless, feeble, old. Thus, in theHule and Niȝtingaleit meansfeeble,weak; in Jos. 9. 5, it is used ofold, worn-outshoes. In the Ormulum,unnorneoccurs frequently, in the senseofpoor,mean,feeble; see ll. 827, 3668; alsounnornelig, meaningmeanly,humbly,obscurely, in ll. 3750, 4858, 7525, 8251.]

Unride,adj.S. [ungereod, ungerydu] It is here used in various significations, most of which, however, correspond to the senses given by Somner. Large, cumbersome (of a garment), 964; unwieldy (of the bar of a door), 1795; deep, wide (of a wound), 1981, 2673; numerous, extensive (of the nobility), 2947.Unrideste, sup.deepest, widest, 1985. In the second sense we find it in Sir Tristr. p. 167,

Dartes welunrideBeliagog set gan.

Dartes welunride

And inGuy of Warwick, ap. Ellis, M. R. V. 2, p. 79.

Cf. alsoSir Guy, Ee.IV.in Garrick’s Collect. ‘Ameraunt drue out a swerdeunryde.’ In the sense of huge, or unwieldy, we may also understand it in Sir Tr. p. 148, 164; Guy of Warw. ap. Ell. M. R. V. 2, p. 78; Horn Childe, ap. Rits. V. 3, p. 295. In R. Brunne, p. 174, it expresses loud, tremendous. Sir W. Scott and Hearne are both at fault in their Glossaries, and even Jamieson has done but little to set them right, beyond giving the true derivation, and then, under the cognate wordUnrude, Doug. Virg. 167, 35, &c., errs from pure love of theory.

Vnrith,n.S. injustice, 1369.

Unwrast, Unwraste,adj.S. [unwræste] feeble, worthless, 2821; rotten, 547. This word occurs in the Saxon Chron. 168, 4 (ed. Thorpe, p. 321), applied to a rotten ship, and this appears to have been the original meaning. The sense in which it was subsequently used may be learnt by comparing Laȝam. ll. 13943, 29609; R. Gl. p. 586; Chron. of Engl. 662, 921; Ly Beaus Desc. 2118 (not explained by Rits.); K. Alisaund. 878; R. Cœur de L. 872, and Sevyn Sages, 1917. It is not found in Jam. Cf. A.S.wræst, firm.

By the aid of Moor’s Suffolk Gl. we are enabled to ascertain the meaning of an expression which is not yet obsolete. “By the walls.” Dead and not buried. “A’ lie bi’ the walls” —said, I believe, only of a human subject. [This remark only applies to l. 474. In ll. 1963, 2470, the phrase refers to the benches placed round the walls in the great hall, whereon men slept at night, and sat in council by day.]Wowe, 1963, 2078.
