+Bye+, _v._ to buy, S2; +by+, C3; see +Biggen+.
+Camel.+ The regular OF. equivalent for Lat. _camelum_ was _chameil_. In OF. _camel_ the termination _-el_ is due to a.n.a.logy with French forms derived from _-alem_. See BH, -- 43.
+Canoun.+ Church Lat. _canonicus_ did not mean originally 'one on the church-roll or list,' but one who was bound to observe a certain rule of life (_canon_, ?a???). OF. _chanoine_ is not the precise equivalent of _canonic.u.m_, but represents a Latin type *_canonium_. See Scheler's Dict. (ed. 3).

+Ernes.+ A derivation of this word from the French has not been proved.--OF. _ernes_ does not exist.
+Falten.+ The form +falt+ should be taken away from this article and placed under +Folden+. The words _falt mi tunge_ mean 'my tongue gives way.' For the various meanings of this verb +folden+, see MD (ii. 68).
This correction is due to the kindness of Prof. Napier.
+For-swinken+, _v._ to exhaust with toil; +forswonke+, _pp._, S3 (p. 364, l. 24).

+Hagt.+ Dr. F. Holthausen suggests that this word means 'danger, peril,'
comparing this ME. _hagt_ with Icel. _haetta_ which has the same meaning.
Kluge connects this _haetta_ with Gothic _hahan_, to hang, so that it may mean radically 'a state of being in suspense.' The word must have come into England in the form *_haht_, before the a.s.similation of _ht_ to _tt_.
