As the name of a measure of about six inches the phrase continued to exist. Stratmann gives schaftmonde, Nares cites a passage from Harrington's Ariosto in which shaftman occurs; in Ray's Collection (1691) shafman, shafmet, shaftment is explained 'the measure of the fist with the thumb set up.' v. also Halliwell's Dict., and Jamieson's, s.v. schaftmon, shathmont. For the latter form see Sir W. Scott's Antiquary, c. 8 (at the end). [O. Sax. skaft a spear: O. H. Ger. scafe hostile, hasta, jaculum, telum, arundo: Icel. skapt, skaft a shaft, haft (of an axe).] v. deoreþ-, here-, lóh, wæl-sceaft.

The following entry has been hand-corrected once.

granu (-ae, -e), an; f. A moustache :-- Granae, granæ, gronae mustacia, Txts. 79, 1343. [For the termination ae in wk. fem. cf. clonae, 79, 1327, slahae, 87, 1576; but the same form is found in the pl. of strong fem., cf. nabae, 79, 1322. If granae could be taken as pl. its declension would correspond with that of the Icel. grön. pl. granar. O. H. Ger. has weak forms, v. Grff. iv. 327, Grana gene, loca super bucca, granen grenones. From a statement of Isidore it appears that the word was used by the Goths :-- Videmus cirros Germanorum, granos et cinnabar Gothorum. See Dief. ii. 427.] v. grana.

sd-berende. In a legend of the Holy Cross Seth is represented as bringing seeds from Paradise, whither he had been sent by Adam: Seth, ita edoctus ab angelo cum uellet discedere, dedit ei angelus tria grana pomi illius, de quo manducauerat pater eius dicens ei: 'Infra triduum cum ad patrem tuum redieris ipse exspirabit. Haec tria grana infra eius linguam pones, &c.' If the poet of the Genesis knew such a legend it might have suggested the epithet he applied to Seth. v. Mod. Lang. Rev. vi. 200. See, too, C. M. 1365 :-- His leue Seth toke of cherubyn, and þre curnels he af to hym whiche of tre he nam his fadir eet of Adam.

Vér sám ok Grana Gunnarsson ok Gunnar Lambason ok

Helgi Njálsson mælti: 'Þá mun Flosi kominn austan, ok

'Þat skyldi eigi vera', sgðu þeir er hjá váru.
'Þat mun þó vera', segir hon, 'ok má ek miklu fleira af
