GLOSSARY.
There is no attempt in this glossary either to note every occurrence
of a word or to give every spelling of the more usual Scots words, but
some familiar words are included either because of an unfamiliar spelling
or because of an unfamiliar significance. The scribe of the Pierpont
Morgan MS. makes no distinction between U, V, and W, which are
accordingly run together here initially. J is never employed except
as the capital form of I, usually where modern custom would use the
lower case, and is therefore disregarded both in the text of this edition
and in the glossary. 3’s put at the end of the alphabet.
