3
Ditto Back to text
4
'hearpe' or 'herepæþ' with the 'þ' elided with the following 'd', although the spelling 'hearpe' makes this suggestion less likely Back to text

6
Cp. 'pobbenættoce'/'bobbenættoce' in S1031 (L1031.0, bounds of Wheathamstead from the archive of Westminster); this may be the same personal name (Bobba is attested, as are names such as Pybba, Podda), but note also 'bobbe' (clump) evidenced in Middle English Back to text
