GLOSSARIAL INDEX.

[The following Index, though not quite a full concordance, is very nearly so. Though I may not have cited every word, I have not wittingly omitted any. For very common words, such as in, is, I have only supplied about a couple of references. In the case of more unusual words, I have inserted many references, but by no means all.

The following symbols are used in a special sense; viz. v. = infin. mood of a verb; pr. s. = third person sing, of present tense; pr. pl. = third person plu. of present tense; pt. s. = third person sing, of past tense; pt. pl. = third person plu. of past tense. In the case of other persons, the number 1 or 2 is added. Other symbols are the usual ones.

References to "Alex. A." are to the Alexander, fragment A, in my edition of William of Palerne.]
