1 I refrain from discussing other Latin forms usually regarded as related, such as aliter, alter, alid, alibi, aliubi, alicubi.

6 The OE forms in appear to be due to confusion with a prefix of different meaning, namely in etc., which is to be equated to Goth. ala- in ala-þarba, OHG ala- in ala-mahtig, etc. The suggestion that confusion between two entirely distinct prefixes has taken place receives some support from the fact that in the OE translation of Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica (1. 1062, Schipper) the form eall-reord is found for el-reord, thus showing that the scribe connected the first element with the adjective eall.

7 This is normal in OE; see Bülbring, Altenglisches Elementarbuch §553.
