In, your ain hand sewed the gare (of a shirt), II, 379, 13; 389, 5; 395, 12 (following ain hand sewed the sleeve), gare in the limited sense seems hardly important enough, and perhaps is to be understood side: cf. rive it (sark) frae gore to gore, gair by gair, I, 439, 4; 440, 5, 7; 441, 6, 7; 442, 5, 6; II, 294, 31, 32.

=gown of green=, gien her a, II, 472, 2: defloured. got on the, I, 350, 11: strangely used for to be with child; properly, she got a gown of green eight months before: it can hardly mean, put on a green gown, literally, as at I, 358, 40.

So in the patched-up ballad IV, 410, 18. The horse silver-shod before and gold-shod behind is a commonplace; see II, 266, 1; 267, 1.

=graithing= (gowd), IV, 410, 18: harness or caparison, behind horse. But see =graith=, _v._

=grammarye=, =grammeree=, V, 294 b, 2: grammar, learning. II, 53, 36, 41; 54, 55; 55, 68: magic. Gramery==grammar, learning, occurs three times in the Towneley Mysteries, but strangely enough seems not to have been heard of in the sense of magic till we come to Percy’s Reliques. Percy suggests that the word is probably a corruption of the French _grimoire_, a conjuring book. Grimoire, however, does not appear until the 16th century and was preceded by gramoire (Littré). Gramaire in the 13th-15th centuries has the sense of magic: see the history of grimoire in Littré. Godefroi interprets gramaire savant, magicien.

Said to be used also in producing abortion.” I fear this is somewhat conjectural or even arbitrary. The pile seems to be simply some downy plant (velvety moss) which grows on stones; indeed we are expressly told this, IV, 456, 9, 12: ‘a flower, it grows on gravel greay,’ ‘the pile that grows on gravel green.’ (We have gravel green and gravel grey in the ordinary sense again, I, 347, 1.)

Murray says Greek hound; “still called in Scotland a grewe, which was the older Scotch for Greek.” Grew==Greek is well known in Middle English, and _greyhound_ (Icelandic greyhundr) may have been changed to _grewhound_ under its influence.

=grey= (meal), oat-meal and grey, II, 462, 30: barley-(bere-)meal, as distinguished from oat-meal (==white meal).

=grief=, V, 151, =F= 1: grove. (tier _should be_ tree.) See =grevis=.
