Subject: Error report: Bosworth/Toller, page b0177, entry 19
This is a margin comment on: Bosworth/Toller, page b0177, entry 19
for "Th. 257, 2S" read "Th. 257, 25"
for "cwéme UNCERTAIN" read simply "cwéme". The reason for the "UNCERTAIN" is unclear, unless it's the tiny black spot under the letter m. But this page is full of such spots.
for "regions" read "regione"
for "wlíte UNCERTAIN" read simply "wlíte". The "l" of "wlíte" is light but clearly present, and the translation "beauty" confirms the word's identity.
NOTE: As far as I can tell, the "i" in this word is marked long only in this entry and in the supplemental entry for "wlíte, -u" (Bosworth/Toller, page d0749, entry 4), where the acute accent is questionable (though not marked as such in the transcription). All other appearances, including the main entry for "wlite" (page b1259, entry 16 and page b1260, entry 1), lack the accent. Nevertheless, it's clearly present in the .png image of page b0177. An error in the original?
