Adave, H. 2. 402. [Probably _beheld_; cannot be explained from K., who has nothing nearer than adawe (O.), _to awaken; awoke_ can hardly be the meaning.]
Adawe, p. 282. 78. _Awake_.
Addawd, H. 2. 110. [_Limply_. Sk. translates _wakened_ from B.'s addawe, _to waken_, which makes no sense. K. has 'adaw, _to awaken_; but it is used by the poet Spencer _to slacken_'; hence the meaning I have given.]

Afleme, p. 287. 14. as _Fleme_; to drive away, to affright.
After la goure, H. 2. 353. should probably be _Astrelagour_; Astrologer. [A singular mistake for B.'s Asterlagour _an astrolabe_.
