单词 | ganyie |
释义 | † ganyie Sc. Obs. Forms: 5 ganȝe, gaynyhe, 6 ganye, gan-, genȝie, 6–7 gainyie, -ȝe. [Of obscure origin; there was an Irish gainne of similar meaning. Du Cange s.v. Ganeo quotes an undated gloss ‘ganeo..hasta vel jaculum, lingua Gallica’, but the word is not known in OFr. A supposed 14th c. example often cited (from Alisaunder 292) is prob. a mistake; the gamus of the MS. should prob. be corrected into gairus, not into gainus.] An arrow, or similar missile, esp. a crossbow-bolt. In late use chiefly in the alliterative phrase gun and ganyie.
