¤¤¤Dr. Wm. Craigie, co-editor of "New English Dictionary," in a note to me, says, with reference to p. 5 of the text, where tun is compared with Go. tains and tain-jo, "Connexion between tún and tains is very doubtful, as the vowels do not belong to the same series." Again, with regard to the parallel, p. 14, between whet and white (a stick), "The former represents O.E. hwettan and the latter O.E. thwitan. The older form of whittle is thwitel, and Sc. whang=thong, early thwang."

It is but fair to say that Dr. Craigie has seen only the first sheet or two of the text.
