Rh a compromise between the vocalism of grūt and that of grytt –1622, pule 2020, fulfune 2025. The spelling in u after w in wurmas 812 is regular in late WS.

20. For OE. «umfastunfast [sic]» y cf. under i.

OE. ā is preserved whether it represents

α) Germ. ai: hatan 23, adle 41, bares 1823 etc.

β) WGerm. ā: ȝelacnað 1419. We meet also with læcned 412.

OE. ǣ representing i mutation of Germ. ai is preserved as ǣ: æniȝe 41, æniȝun 44 614, ȝehæled 410, ær 62, dæle 616, clænsunge 1226. However by-forms in ā are not rare: ar 820, haled 1012, alcen 44, clane 621 and ȝeclansod 623 show the vocalism of the adverb clāne.

OE. WS. æ̂ (corresponding to A. and K. ë) remains unchanged: fætelsa 48, nærdran 82, wætan 83, ȝewæȝe 814, oferslæpe 122, þær-to 124, þær-on 2211, blædranll 1215, wæpned 1222, eaȝe-bræwas 1614, læcedom 2011. Here again by-forms in ā occur here and there: lacedome 222, þare 622, þarmid 109 2023.
