ea before r + cons. is a in quarterne 59, nareu 60; æ in scærpe 61, 64, iærd 78, 102; a generally before lengthening groups, uuard 15, 18, 122, 189, 201, forewarde 157, 185, nowiderwardes 65, but æ in wærd 176, 177, 193. The i-umlaut is represented by æ, e, eo, færd 115, 180, ferd 133, feord 164. ea before l + cons. is regularly a, als 15, alre 30, alle 45, hals 65; but ælle 43; before ld, ald 16, halden 143, 186, 189; but manifældlice 113. Palatal ea is a, iaf 10, 128, 129, 158, 205; æ in begæt 96, 98. Palatal ie is generally i, y after g, gyuen 9, 71, ííuen 144, 158, but gæildes 70, bigæton 170; after č, cęste 60. eo before r + cons. is eo, weorces 50, weorkes 103 (influence of w); e in sterres 16; before length. groups e, erthe 85, eo, eorl 116, æo, æorl 132. To the wur group belong wurscipe 11, wurtscipe 93. w + ie, umlaut of eo before r + cons. is represented in uuerse 69, wærse, 156, 159. eo before l + cons. is e in helde 184, æ in sælf 202. eo, umlaut of i, is e in clepeden 70, here 44; i, y in sithen 153, siððan 32, sythen 79, sylure 24, syluer 40, 53. eo after g is seen in iunge 178; after sc in sculde 18, 38, scort 60; after w in suster 170; beionde 196, heom 34, represent eo of obscure origin.
ēa is mostly e, ded 19, 176, 177, 193, hefed 56, estren 108, forles 140, reuede 173; or æ, ræuede 20, ræflac 29, ræueden 71, ræueres 83, hæued 58, but eo in eom 38, beom 64. Its i-umlaut is seen in flemden 118, herde 163, cæse 74. Palatal ēa after g is æ in gære 13, 18, undergæton 44; ea in gear 1, a in iafen 44 (gēafon).
ēo is mostly e, underþeden 3, ben 7, frend 21, helden 32, undep 61, ieden 75, but æ in dær 23, gæde 58, scæ 140 (*sēo Anglia, Beiblatt, vii. 331), iæde 165, wæx 127, and eo in heolden 47, 49, deoules 51, preostes 80, freond 151. Its i-umlaut is seen in þestrede 15, 122, dære 74, sæclede 201 and atywede 111 (ætīewan). gīet is gæt 76, get 38.
æ + g is æi in dæi 15, 16, 19, 52; ei in dei 11, 14; ai in lai 14, mai 67; æ in sæde 143, sæden 17, 86. e + g is æi in æie 22, sæin 87, læide 173, læiden 70; ei in eie 196, sei 24. ongegn is represented by agænes 48, 130, agenes 30, 180, so togænes 116. i + g is i in ani 52. o + h is oh in wrohte 91, bohton 107. u + g is ug, flugen 76, 135, 147; u + h, uh in fuhten 117. ǣ1 + h is seen in bepaht 4. ē + g is ei in uureide 2, beien 176. ī + g is i in fridæi 109. ō + g, h is oh in onoh 63, brohten 21, brohte 92. ea + h gives uh in muhten 147. ēa + g is eg in rachenteges 63; ēa + h, eh, neh 4, fleh 140, 149, 165, hehlice 204; but heglice 112.
ā + w gives au in saule 40; ō + w is represented in nouther 78, 154 (nōhwæðer), noht 8 (nōwiht); ēa + w in fæumen 117; ēo + w in neuuæ 93, treuthe 47, 154, treothes 47.
In syllables of minor or no stress, swā is reduced to se, alse 38, 55, ware se 172; o to e, altegædere 79, enmang 26. æ is written for e, flugæn 82, forcursæd 84, War sæ 85, neuuæ 93, bletcæd 198. In sona 30, a is traditional spelling, instead of e. The suffix in wreccehed 76 represents *hæd. Inflectional vowels are mostly levelled to e, but a persists in the infinitives winnan 115, rixan 176, and is found in the pt. plurals, tocan 32, coman 82; o in wæron (11 times), undergæton 44, bræcon 62, brendon 72, heoldon 143, fæston 154; in macod 41, begunnon 210 and the inf. bæron 63, bigaeton 170. In wicci 155 i is miswritten for e.
For w, the scribe adds to the OE. symbol ƿ the French uu, which occurs for the most part initially, as uureide 2, but medially in þohuuethere 33, Noruuic 107; and for sw, cw, su, cu, as sua 3, cuen 145. Once for cw he has French qu in quarterne 59. In cusen 201, cosan 204, s has been substituted for r, by influence of cēosan, cēas, &c. An inorganic n appears in conjunction with d in bebiriend[en] 22, þolenden 87. In umwile 70, the prefix is O. Scand. um; þumbes 56 (þūma) has inorganic b: in hauen, 131, bb has passed through f, by analogy of hafað, to u; similarly liuen 98. f between vowels is generally represented by u, as æuez 117, ræueres 83; but hefed 56, yfel 29: it is also u in æure 69, deoules 51, sturuen 75: it is assimilated in wimmen 53, lammasse 13. t is lost in efsones 156, and misplaced in sa`t´hleden 153: OE. milts is milce 4. d has fallen off in þusen 66, and interchanged with þ in wurþen 17, wurthen 147. The contraction ⁊ = and 47, 198, but the d as well as that of mid 142, 160 was evidently pronounced t when followed by te for þe. þ, ð, th all occur indiscriminately; the last is French. þ of the article þe is assimilated to a preceding t, as ðat te 3, þatte 8, æt te 13, ⁊ te 5, and often, ⁊ to 111, 117, mid te 142, 160, but not after d in fand þe 90, nor in mid þemperice 160, wyd þemperice 162, where the article coalesces with the noun. In wurtscipe 93, &c., wart 122 t has displaced þ; while in wurscipe 11 þ has been lost: þ often interchanged with d, as uuard 15, 176, 201, nowiderwardes 65, fordfeorde 125, wyd 141, widuten 147. In bletcæd 198 (bletsod) c is written for s, as in emperice 141. Sc is [š], sh in ship; so sculde 7, scip 14, lundenisce 27, scort 60, scærpe 61, scæ 140, -scipe 11, &c. Voiced s is once written z, æuezmen 117.
The scribe uses ch, as often in Anglo-Norman, with the value of [k] to represent c, g, as rachenteges 63 (racente, always with k elsewhere in ME.), halechede 28 (hālgode), halechen 87 (hālgan), folecheden 148 (folgodon), Burch 2, burch 163 (burg); being all the instances of ch which occur. But he also has c with the same value as folc, com, tocon, macod, &c., and c for č (ch in chin), which may be assumed for ricemen 30, cæse 74, circe 78, ceste 60, cild 107, cusen 201, cosan 204, -cestre 133, -rice 9, and for final ic.
Palatal g is mostly i, iaf 128, 129, 158, 205, iafen 44, aiauen 168 (āgiefan), ííuen 144, 158, iunge 178, iærd 78, 102, beionde 196, iæde 165, ieden 75 (ge-ēodon), but g in gear 1, begæt 98, get 38, gæt 76, gæde 58, bryniges 57. In sloghen 118 (slōgon) the guttural sound is expressed.
Initial h in words of less stress has largely disappeared, so, it 8, &c., but hit 189: it is added in hær 159, here, her 190. hw is reduced to w, War 85, wile 69, umwile 70, and is wu in Wua 24. h is lost in þur 112 through confusion with the following word, but its guttural character is sufficiently indicated by added c in þurhc 155, 156. þ is written for h in þoþ 35, þoþwethere 91, 181; but þohuuethere 33.
