In geu | eléngðh | e wórn | it mád || l. [147].

Thus, the n must have been very slightly touched, as is shewn also by the riming of e and en. Examples, ll. [11], [12]; [363], [364], etc.

As to the final -e, it may be observed that it is most frequently pronounced just when it is most essential, viz., when it marks a grammatical inflexion, or an adverbial form, as, e.g.:—

Til ihé | sus béð | on Ró | dè dón || l. [386];

and,

Wél | he ſeí | den and ſwí | ðè wél || l. [1645].

In the second place, it is very liable to be slurred over before a vowel following, as in l. [148]

In Ré | ke-fíl | le on ſún | der ſhád ||

In Ré | ke-fíl |
