    I, 301; X, 287.  O.N. einkarlegr, O. Dan. enkorlig, O. Sw.
    enkorlika, adj. adv. special, especially.  Cp.  Norse

    anda, breathe, M.E. anden.

ERD, vb. to bury.  Dunbar, F., 372; Douglas, II, 266, 10; Bruce,
    XX, 291.  O.N. jaretha, to bury, O. Sw. iorþa.  O.E. eardian
    meant “to dwell, inhabit.”  See further Wall.  A case of
    borrowed meaning, the form is Eng.

ERDING, sb. burial.  Bruce, IV, 255; XIX, 86.  See erd vb.

ESPYNE, sb. a long boat.  Bruce, XVII, 719.  O.N. espingr,
    a ship’s boat, Sw. esping.

ETTIL, ETIL, sb. aim, design.  Douglas, II, 249, 13; II, 254.  See
    ettil vb.

ETLYNG, sb. aim, endeavor, intention.  Bruce, II, 22; I, 587; R.R.,
    1906.  Probably a deriv. from ettle, see below, but cp.  O.N.
    etlun, design, plan, intention.

ETTLE, ETTIL, vb. to intend, aim at, attempt.  O.N. aetla, intend,
    O. Dan. aetlae, ponder over, Norse etla, intend, determine,
    or get ready to do a thing.  Cu. ettle, York, attle.  In
    Isaiah, LIX, colophon, ettle signifies “means, have the
    meaning.”

FALOW, vb. to match, compare.  R. R., 3510.  Also the regular form
    of the sb. in Sco., O.N. felagr. See Skeat, B-S under
    f[-e]la[*g]e. The Sco. vowel is long as in O.N. and M.E.  The
    tendency in Sco. is toward a in a great many words that have
    e in Eng.  Cp.  Aberdeen wast for west; laft for left;
    stap for step; sattlit for settled, S. Sco. wat for
    wet.  Similar unfronting of the vowel is seen in prenciple,
    reddance, enterdick.

FANG, vb. to catch, seize.  O.N. fanga, to fetch, capture.  Norse
    fanga, Dan. fange.  This word in Northern England and
    Scotland is to be regarded as a Scand. loan-word.  The word
    fangast, a marriageable maid, cited by Wall, proves this. 
    Literally the word means something caught (cp.  Norse
    fangst).  This meaning could not possibly have arisen out of
    the O.E. word, but is explained by the Norse use of it and the
    peculiar Norse custom, cp. fanga k[o,]nu, to wed a woman,
    kvan-fang, marriage, fangs-tieth, wedding-season, Norse
    brylloep < brudlaup, the “bride-run.”  Wall suggests that it
    may come from the root of O.E. pp. gefangen.  Its presence in
    S.Eng. diall. in the meaning “to struggle, to bind,” may be
    explained in this way.
