Rh also Chr. 1206–7:

dolg scēawian, wunde ond wīte.

Another such Cynewulfian word is þurhdrīfan. El. 707 has:

þēah ic ǣr mid dysige þurhdrifen wǣre;

and Chr. 1109:

swā him mid næglum þurhdrifan nrðhycgende.

With these compare Rood 46:

Þurhdrifan hī mē mid deorcan næglum.

b. Certain kennings are common to the Rood and the Cynewulfian poems. Thus (I add in brackets references omitted by Dietrich):

sigebēam, Rood 13, [127]: El. [420], 445, 665, 847, 861, 965, [1028].

wuldres trēow, Rood 14: El. [89], 828, 867, 1252.

wuldres beam, Rood 97: El. 217 (wuldres wynbēam, El. 844).

bēacna sēlest, Rood 118; wudu sēlesta, Rood 27: sēlest sigebēacna, El. 975; sēlest sigebēama, El. 1028.

feorgbold, Rood 73: selegescot, hūs, Chr. 1480, 1481.

hæfde his gāst onsended, Rood 49: his gast onsende, El. 480.

c. Other parallels are:

(1) Rood 4:

Þūhte mē þæt ic [ne] gesāwe syllicre trēow. Rh
