NOTES on ENGLISH ETYMOLOGY. by the Rev 284 XVII. NOTES ON ENGLISH ETYMOLOGY. By the Rev. Prof. SKEAT. [Head at a Meeting of the Philological Society, June 7, 1889. J Chess. The etymology is known to be from A.F. eschecs, the really pi. of esc/iec, check. But it is interesting to know whether the c in the ending cs was lost in E. or in A.F. The answer is, the latter. For the A.F. form esches, see William of Wadington, Manuel des Peches, 1. 4106; Romance of Horn, 2551 (in both MSS.). In fact, the pi. esches is quite regular. Similarly, blans was the pi. of blanc in Norman. See Gaston Paris, Extraits de la Chanson de Roland, p. 43. Cieling. I have shewn that a possible origin of this word is from O.F. del, heaven. Perhaps this is illustrated by a ' passage in the A.F. Romance of Horn, 1. 2709 : Cielee iert la art dentailleor umbrelenc bien fait chambre par De un ; bon fu linginneor.' I find that Godefroy quotes this from Michel's edition is from that Brede and ; my quotation by Stengel. See also cele in Godefroy. I do not, however, fully understand the passage. Clever. The E.Friesic word is Idufer (Koolman), explained ' by gewandt, geschickt, aufgeweckt, anstellig, lebhaft, munter, behende/ Coble, a kind of boat. This word is given and denned by Halliwell. He refers us to Morte Arthure, 1. 742; but in ' that passage coblez seems to mean cables/ Matzner and Stratrnann give no example. But in the Lindisfarne MS., ' Matt. viii. 23, the Lat. in nauicula is glossed by in lytlum scipe uel in ciiople.' Johnson's Diet., s.v. cobble, quotes ' 'cobles, or little fishing-boats from Pennant (no reference). See Jamieson and Brockett. Cosset, a pet-lamb, a pet. Used by Spencer and Ben Jonson; see Nares. In Webster's Dictionary, a derivation is suggested from the word cot. This does not seem very NOTES ON ENGLISH ETYMOLOGY. PROF. SKEAT. 285 likely at first sight, but there is some evidence for it. ' Soraner gives an A.S. cof-s&ta, a cot-sitter/ or dweller in a cot, with no reference. But here we get help from Schmid's glossary to the Anglo-Saxon Laws and from Ducange. The Latinised plural cotseti, synonymous with riJhnii, occurs in the of 29 ed. i. 532 and Laws Henry I., cap. ; Thorpe, ; in the 81 ed. i. 589. again, spelt cot/iseti, same, cap. ; Thorpe, Schmid remarks that the same plural occurs repeatedly in Domesday Book, spelt coscez, cozets, and cozez, where z originally stood for the sound of ts. See also coscez in Ducange, where we even find a form cossafus, with a sug- gested derivation from cot and sit. The A.S. cote, a cote, as cot- in see the Diet. appears composition ; A.S. Perhaps ' cosset at first ' a dweller in a cot as to meant ; and, applied a lamb, a pet-lamb kept in the house. So the Gf. Hauslamm means both a house-lamb and a pet. Hence the verb cosset, to pet. See Cot-lamb. For the pronunciation, cf. best for betst, and boatswain ; bless for bletsian, etc. But difficulties remain. Costrel, a bottle. Used by Chaucer, L. G. Worn. 2666. Also spelt costret ; see Matzner. It is from the O.F. costerel, allied to costeret, costelet, all given by Godefroy, and sig- nifying a pannier, basket, jar, esp. a jar or measure of oil ' or wine, as in the phrase un costelet de vin et de olie/ a measure of wine or oil. All are diminutives of O.F. coste, a measure of capacity, used for fruits taken to market, a pannier or basket of a certain size. 22 costes went to the ui-uid so it was not (Lat. modius) ; very large. Ducange ' gives costa, cista, calathus, F. panier.' It seems natural to connect it with Lat. costa, rib, side, but I cannot say that the connection is clearly made out. Lewis and Short quote costa corbiiun from Pliny, 16. 18. 30, 75. Littre, s.v. cote, notes that this term is used in basket-making to denote the projections (nervures) formed by the flexure of small osiers the ones round larger ; which perhaps explains the word. Cot, Cot- lamb, a pet lamb. In Grose's Prov. Diet. (1790), find ' lambs cades.' we cottv, brought up by hand ; In Wright's Yocab. ed. Wiilker, col. 749, 1. 1, we have the form 286 NOTES ON ENGLISH ETYMOLOGY. PROF. SKEAT. kodlomb in a Vocabulary of the 15th century. If these can can be connected, then kodlomb would stand for cot- lamb, i.e. a lamb brought up in a cot. See Cosset. Crack, a mischievous boy. Shakespeare has the word twice. I believe it is short for crack-rope, a contemptuous term for a rascal, occurring in Dodsley 0. Plays, ed. Hazlitt, iv. 63. In the same way, wag is short for wag-halter, and is an equiva- ' lent term. Thus Cotgrave has : Babouin, a craftie knave, a crack-rope, a wag-halter? Todd's Johnson has crack-rope, ' without a reference, defined as a fellow that deserves ' hanging/ It means rather a fellow that has escaped the gallows, because the rope broke.' It seems to have been usual not to hang a man a second time in such a case. Craier, Grayer, Crare, Cray, a kind of small ship. Shak. * ' has crare iv. 2. 205 edd. ; see sluggish ; Cymb. (old care) in also craier in Halliwell ; cray Todd's Johnson and Nares. M.E. crayer, krayer ; Morte Arthure, 738, 3666. From O.F. craier, creer, a vessel of war; spelt craier in 1339, and creer in 1334, according to Godefroy, and apparently a Norman word. Low Lat. craiera, in a charter of Edw. III. A.D. 1360 ; also creyera (Ducange). Widegren gives the Swed. krejare, a small vessel mast but this is a late with one ; evidently form, and does not help us. Beyond this I cannot go. The suggestion, in Webster, that it is derived from the G. krieg, or Du. krijg, war, is in no way borne out. It does not account for the spelling, and we should rather expect the word to be of English origin. I would propose to derive it from the A.S. crecca, M.E. creke, crike, a creek. This word was Latin- ised as creca, and meant both a creek and a port or harbour. A Low Lat. *crecarius would give the O.F. forms exactly, and ' might mean a ship frequenting the harbours/ Cross. The great difficulty of accounting for the form cross is well known. Mr. Mayhew points out to me that cross is also the O.Irish form, found in the 'Leabhar Breac,' ed. Atkinson see the course this Celtic cros is ; Glossary. Of from the Latin crux. In O'Reilly's Irish Dictionary, we find a a I cros, cross, hindrance ; crosaim, cross, stop, hinder, debar a small ; crosanach, cross, perverse ; crosog, cross, per- NOTES ON ENGLISH ETYMOLOGY. PROF. SKEAT. 287 ' ' cros in verseness, etc. I find A.S. cros, as in Normannes ; Birch, Cart. Sax. in. 367 (A.D. 963-984). Cudgel. I have suggested that this word is of Celtic origin, but it is probably Teutonic. I have given no example earlier than Shakespeare. It occurs, however, once in Middle English, and, in fact, as early as in the Ancren Riwle, p. 292, 1. 1, where it is spelt kuggel. Further, the A.S. form is properly cycgel, of which the dat. pi. is spelt kycglum in the Hatton MS. of Gregory's Pastoral Care, ed. Sweet, p. 297, 1. 1. The ace. pi. kigclas occurs in Cockayne's Shrine, p. 163. The remarkable spelling quodgell is quoted ' ' from a piece called Pasquin in a Traunce in the volume on ' Dialect ' in the Gentleman's re- Magazine Library ; printed from the Gent. Mag. for 1820, pt. 1, pp. 115, 116. The A.S. form is not given in any Dictionary. Cullis, a very fine and strong broth, strained and made clear for patients in a state of great weakness (Nares). This is a in old Nares several common word dramas ; gives examples, which could easily be multiplied. The M.E. form is coli* also This (see Matzner) ; spelt koJys, colice, colysshe. is from an O.F. colis, couleis (see couleis in Godefroy), later ' coulis. Cotgrave gives Coulis, masc. a cullis, or broth of boiled meat strained;' and the adj. coulis, gliding, whence potage coulis, lit. gliding pottage, i.e. gliding through a strainer, used in the same sense as coulis alone. It was therefore originally the masculine form of an adjective, answering to Low Lat. *colaticius, from colare, to flow, to ' strain through a sieve. Similarly port-cullis means gliding ' and the difference and the gate ; only between cullis, broth, ri'J/ifi in is is port-cullis that the former masculine (colaticius) , latter see coulisse in and the feminine (colatida) ; coulis, Cot- grave. And see Wedgwood. Dogger, a kind of fishing- vessel. It occurs in Hexham as ' ' : cen a Fishers also a Du. word ; he has Dogger, Boat ; ' a or a Satchell.' also : Sling casting-net ; also, He gives 1 Mastif een a Dogge, an English ; Dogge-boot, great Barke.' ' Also : Dogger-zandt, a Shelve of white sand, or a Quick- ' sand in the Sea.' He also notes the verb : Doggcn, or 288 NOTES ON ENGLISH ETYMOLOGY. PROF. SKEAT. doggeren, to Dogg one, or, to follow one secretly.' But the word is said not to be old in Dutch. Again, the Icel.

Published in Ériu 57 (2007), 133–53 SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THE ‘DUBLIN ANNALS OF INISFALLEN’* MEIDHBHÍN NÍ ÚRDAIL University College Dublin ABSTRACT This article examines the compilation and transcription of the eighteenth-century source commonly known as the ‘Dublin Annals of Inisfallen’. It reviews, in particular, the work’s most substantial entries, i.e. those which concern the O’Briens and the history of Thomond in the medieval period, and briefly highlights the historical value of other longer entries relating to the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The ‘Dublin Annals’ attests to the readiness with which scribes indulged in editorial intrusion, while it also offers insights into the factors which impinged upon textual transmission in the Modern Irish period. INTRODUCTION I argued some years ago for the importance of a shifting in focus in the area of post- classical Modern Irish manuscript studies from the material transcribed to the scribe who produced it.

  • Hunting for the Genetic Legacy of Brian Boru in Irish Historical Sources
    Hunting for the genetic legacy of Brian Boru in Irish historical sources. Catherine Swift, Mary Immaculate College Having won an English chariot from an Italian gentleman at play, my uncle had our arms painted on the panels in a more splendid way than ever (surmounted, as we were descended from the ancient kings) with an Irish crown of the most splendid size and gilding. I had this crown in lieu of a coronet engraved on a large amethyst signet-ring worn on my forefinger; and I don’t mind confessing that I used to say the jewel had been in my family for several thousand years, having originally belonged to my direct ancestor, his late Majesty, King Brian Boru or Barry. I warrant the legends of the Heralds’ College are not more authentic than mine was.1 In his travels in Ireland in 1842, Thackeray followed the course of the Shannon up river from Tarbert to Limerick and then travelled through Clare to Galway, visiting “a decent little library” in Ennis where he bought “six volumes of works strictly Irish”. As he describes them subsequently, “these yellow-covered books are prepared for the people chiefly” and included tales of a highwayman entitled Adventures of Mr James Freeny, legends in Hibernian Tales2 and “the lamentable tragedy of the ‘Battle of Aughrim’ writ in the most doleful Anglo-Irish verse.” He does not refer explicitly in his Irish Sketchbook to Brian Boru but it seems fair to assume that his description of Barry Lyndon’s ancestry was based, at least in part, on stories he had heard when travelling through Thomond or, perhaps, even elsewhere in Ireland.

  • Irish Chronicles As Sources for the History of Northern Britain, AD
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Aberdeen University Research Archive INR 69[1] EVANS: Page 1 of 57 Nicholas Evans Irish chronicles as sources for the history of northern Britain, A.D. 660– 8001 The Irish chronicles, along with sources from England, especially the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and Bede’s ‘Ecclesiastical History of the English People’, provide the chronological framework that underpins the narrative history of northern Britain in the seventh and eighth centuries.2 Other texts help to illuminate various aspects of the period’s societies, but their limitations in chronological and geographical coverage, and subject-matter, as well as difficulties in determining their early contents, mean that historical texts with chronologies form the basis for reconstructing the narrative skeleton of this period. An understanding of these chronological texts as sources is therefore crucial not only for their own interpretation but also for the study of many other witnesses. 1 I would like to thank Dauvit Broun, who supervised the postgraduate work from which this has evolved, the many people who have read and commented on drafts of this article or conference and seminar papers on this subject, and in particular David Dumville, Paul Russell, and the anonymous referee, for their contributions to improving drafts of this text. 2 The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.

XII), 1596 Introduction The galloglass of medieval Ireland was the premier military kindred that supplied élite fighting men for Gaelic and Anglo-Norman lordships from the thirteenth to seventeenth centuries.3 Like other sections of Gaelic society the galloglass were organised into hered- itary professional kindreds whose branches were settled in various lordships in Ireland. Galloglass kindreds that became attached to different aristocratic patrons competed with each other and an esprit de corps formed around how they acquitted themselves on the field. Their profession of arms meant that their role was not limited to training and fight- ing on behalf of their patrons; they also served as bodyguards to lords and constituted an essential element in supplying the vanguard of Gaelic military forces.

  • Kingship, Lordship, and Resistance: a Study of Power in Eleventh- and Twelfth-Century Ireland
    Trinity College, Dublin School of Histories and Humanities Department of History Kingship, lordship, and resistance: a study of power in eleventh- and twelfth-century Ireland Ronan Joseph Mulhaire Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (2020) Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the Library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. _______________________ RONAN MULHAIRE 2 Summary This thesis starts from the premise that historians of medieval Ireland have interpreted ‘power’ in a very narrow way. As chapter one illustrates, through a review of the historiography of Irish kingship, the discussion of ‘power’ has, hitherto, amounted to a conversation about the ways in which the power of the greater Irish kings grew over the course of the eleventh and twelfth centuries (at the expense of the lesser kings). Engaging with the rich corpus of international literature on power, as is done in chapter one, reveals the sheer complexity and vicissitudes of ‘power’ as a concept. Many writers and thinkers on the subject have identified resistance as a means through which to view power relations, and it is along these lines that the rest of the thesis runs. Chapters three and four are concerned with the subject of resistance; with regicide and revolt, respectively. Both mine the Irish annals.
