The scribe misreads 'g' as 's', 's' as 'r' and 'e' as 'f' amongst many other miscopyings, and in this script wynn, thorn and 'y' are identical apart from the dot over the 'y'. In this transcript wynn and thorn are transcribed according to context. Variant readings re. Farrer's 'y'/wynn/thorn are not noted
