    Notes:

    Q. How do I discover ambiguities in Old English words when I don't yet know the language? A. Consult a dictionary.

    First, try your Clark-Hall. If you would like to consult a larger dictionary, try Bosworth-Toller Anglo-Saxon Dictionary for Macintosh. Or consult it on-line, along with dozens of other excellent germanic resources here.
