124 Forby derives it from ped, which in Norfolk is a covered pannier. There are many words in the Ancren Riwle, which, as Wedgwood thinks, are formed from the sound; such as gewgaw, chatter, flash; scratch arose in Salop; the window of that shire was called þurl in the South. The adjective in Shakespere's ‘little cwifer fellow’ is found in the Ancren Riwle; it seems to come from the old cóf, impiger.

Dr. Morris has added to his Twelfth Century Homi&shy;lies (First Series) some other works, which seem to date from about 1220. The word carp (loqui) is seen for the first time. Another new word is dingle, applied to a recess of the sea; it is akin to a German word, as also is schimmeð or schimereð (fulget), at page 257.
