TO-WONDE, _pt. s. subj._ (?) might fly in pieces, might become broken, 4. 102; _or pt. s._ (_with substitution of the weak for the strong form, as in_ abreyde), flew in pieces, became broken. The latter is more likely. The form _towond_, flew in pieces, occurs in Sir Ferumbras, 2568 (see Stratmann), and answers to an A.S. *_t[=o]-wand_, pt. t. of *_to-windan_. The simple form _wand_ is properly intransitive, as in 'him thaet h[=e]afod wand fordh on th[=a] flore,' his head flew (or rolled) forward on the floor (Judith, 110); and in 'him wand thaet h[=e]afod of,' his head flew (or rolled) off, Oros.v. 2. Lastly, it is possible that we should read _towond_, the true pt. t. form; we must then also read _hond_ and _lond_; and, in fact, _lond_ is preferable. The explanation 'whirl about' in the Century Dictionary is absurd. The spear would not be said '_almost_ to whirl about' or '_almost_ to revolve'; this involves a bathos. The form _towonde_ in Layamon, 4537, seems to be a similar substitution for _towond_. It can hardly be from _towendan_ (as in Stratmann), because that verb is properly transitive.

UNDERN, _s._ B 4412, E 260, 981. A particular time in the morning is here implied, either about 9 a.m., or somewhat later. As 9 a.m. is frequently called _prime_, perhaps we may take _undern_ to mean about the middle of the forenoon (from 9 a.m. to 12), i.e. about half past 10. But see the note to E 260, where it is pointed out that the time of _undern_ varied. It is allied to _under_, and means 'intervening period.' The original sense was probably mid-forenoon, i.e. at 9 a.m. (half-way between 6 and 12), or mid-afternoon, i.e. 3 p.m. (half-way between noon and 6 p.m.). Then, as _prime_ shifted from 6 to 9 a.m., _undern_ shifted from 9 to 10 or half-past ten. Not long ago, labourers spoke of their _levenses_ or _fourses_, or their repasts at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Cf. Gothic _undaurnimats_, lit. 'undern-meat,' used to translate Gk. [Greek: ariston], Luke, xiv. 12.

UNDERSPORE, _v._ thrust (the staff) under, push beneath, A 3465. The object was to lift the door off the hinges, partly by prising it up with a lever. I take the verb _sporen_ to mean 'to spur,' hence to push or thrust, as when a rider uses his spurs. Cf. A.S. _sporu_, heel, _spurnan_, to kick, spurn; also O. H. G. _widar-spor[=o]n_, to kick against; Lithuan. _spir-ti_, to strike against anything; Icel. _spora_, to spurn against.

ADDENDA.

The number of references might be largely increased; but I hope that the most material ones have been recorded. Of the new words found in the Complaint of Womanly Noblesse (see vol. iv. p. xxv), some have been included above. But I may here draw attention to _allegeaunce_, alleviation, in l. 22; and _conforme_, I conform, in l. 17. Other notable words are _outrance_ (l. 26), _souvenance_ (l. 14), and _unbuxumnesse_ (l. 27). The occurrence of _conforme_ is important, as shewing Chaucer's knowledge of the word; for the reading _confirme_ in B 4. p 7. 61 is certainly an error for _conforme_. I here subjoin a few additional references and notes.

GLOSSARY TO FRAGMENTS B AND C OF THE ROMAUNT OF THE ROSE.

FRAGMENT B = ll. 1706-5810.

FRAGMENT C = ll. 5811-7698.

The following Glossary is separated from the preceding because Fragments B and C of the Romaunt are not by Chaucer. See, on this point, the Introduction to Vol. i.

Fragment B abounds in Northern words and forms; some of these are particularly pointed out. Words in Fragment C have 'C' prefixed to the number of the line.

In this Glossary, proper names are included, being few in number.

INDEX OF AUTHORS QUOTED OR REFERRED TO.

The following is a list of the principal quotations and references made by Chaucer. Several of them were certainly made at second-hand, or were stock quotations common in note-books. The references are to the volume and page, where each passage is (usually) duly quoted or pointed out in the Notes. Thus the reference to Genesis i. 27 is pointed out in vol. v. p. 389, in the note to F 880.

Authors merely named, or referred to at second-hand, are marked with an asterisk.
