page 15 note 1 Pitulit in the twelfth-century manuscript Clm. 22201 probably means ‘deprived’, as we shall see later. This privative meaning of OHG bitullen does not seem to have been recorded. ‘Mit einem tülle versehen’ (cf. M. Lexer 1.245 under betüllen) may easily develop into ‘debar, deprive’, as in the case of OE betynan and OE belucan. (Tülle—‘wand od. zaun von brettern od. palisaden’. Cf. M. Lexer 2.1564.)

page 53 note 1 All the Old English material available, both prose and poetry, as well as much of the important Middle English material, was carefully gone through for this study, and every word with prefix be- (no matter what the meaning) recorded. All dictionaries and glossaries were consulted as checks. The latest date noted in the New English Dictionary was accepted as that of the latest occurrence unless evidence to the contrary was available.

page 68 note 7 Benumen relates to the past, bescired to the future as well as to the past.
page 70 note 8 Since bescerian refers to the future as well as to the past, beneoman, which refers only to the past, is added. The author of the Old English Bede wished to make sure that the full meaning of the Latin original be expressed.
