Be-seyn, [249], appear.
Best, beast.
Be-stad, [77], [329], placed, circumstanced. I am not quite certain of its meaning in the first of these instances, but the word “accomplished” will suit the context. Vide Boucher’s Glossary in voc., who remarks that “no precise, constant meaning seems ever to have been attached to this word.” In the Prompt. Parv. is the following valuable notice of this word, “Be-stad, or withholdyn yn wele or wo.”
Besy, busy.
Besynes, business.
Betake, [72], deliver, commit. See Boucher’s Glossary, in voc. Vide [be-teche], which appears to be exactly the same word, differing only in the spelling.
Bete, [180].
Bete, bit.
Be-teche, [70], commit, recommend. To commit to the charge or protection of another.
Betyde, [47], happen.
