| 释义 | † ˈerer, a. and adv. Obs.
Forms: adj. 1 ǽrra (m.), ǽrre (f. and n.), 2 ærra, (2 erra, 3 earre, eror, errure, 4 erore); adv. 1 ǽror, -ur, (3 ærer, erur, arer, -ure), 4–6 Sc. erar(e, (4 errar), 5 erer, (6 earar).
[The OE. adj. ǽrra corresponds to OHG. êriro, Goth. airiza:—OTeut. *airizon-, f. *airiz adv.: see ere. The OE. adv. ǽror is a new formation after the analogy of advb. comparatives in -or (:—OTeut. -ôz); the OE. ǽr (:—*airiz), owing to the loss of the suffix, not being distinctly shown by its form to be a comparative. Cf. OHG. êror of similar formation.]
