ge-bru. Add: [The declension and gender of this word are uncertain. In An. 1572: Ph. 125: Wrt.

Voc. ii. 42, 57) might belong. In Wrt. Voc. ii. 110, 21: Gr. D. 111, 9 the forms are almost certainly plural, and might belong to a neuter singular ge-bre, to which also might be referred all but the four singular forms given above; and in favour of the neuter is the Old Saxon gi-ari (an thínumu gibárea).] I. in the following glosses :-- Gebéro gestus, Txts. 65, 957.

Þu (the owl) miht mid þine songe afere Alle þat ihereþ þine ibere, O. and N. 222) :-- Bið swá fæger fugles gebru ... wrixleð wóðcræfte wundorlícor, beorhtan reorde, þonne fre byre monnes hýrde under heofonum, Ph. 125.
