Anglo-Saxon Riddles of the Exeter Book/Annotated/55

Of the opening lines only a few words remain, and probably the end is lost.

Antler, horn, inkhorn. There is some disorder in the text apart from the omissions due to damage to the manuscript; possibly the Exeter scribe had an imperfect copy before him. Apparently the &ldquo;tracks&rdquo; (l. 31) would be something written, homiletic or copied from the Bible.
