The forms “H Z”, “HZ.” and “H. Z.” (for “Haupt’s Zeitschrift für deutsches Alterthum”) each appear once.
The term “X type” (of OE. rime) appears both with and without period, and in both bold and ordinary type.
Some references to Hempl’s test have “-wǭ-, -wō-” instead of the expected “-wǭ-, -wọ̄-”. These are shown as printed.
In a few paragraphs, the abbreviation “O.E.” has been silently regularized to “OE.”
General:
The abbreviations “V.” and “Cott.” (see beginning of Glossary) refer to the same MS., Cott. Vitell. D. III.
“MS. Gg. 4. 27. 2.” is written both with and without final period (full stop).
When the editor is writing in his own voice, the Introduction uses “æ” while the notes use “ae”. Middle English is always “æ” (one letter); Latin is always “ae” (two letters).
The Laud MS. always has “crist...” instead of the more common “crist...”
In the Notes, anomalous quotation marks such as ‘R. H.’ for R. H. (without quotes) are unchanged.
