¶ And haskedR.1.75: Cf. F's halsede and beta's
asked. Though both variants are available in the A
tradition, Ax almost certainly agreed with F's reading. The same is true
for Cx, though a third variant, hanslede, is
generated in some copies—apparently by metathesis—from a variant spelling of the
original (= halsnede) still found in manuscripts EcQSc. The evidence in
the B tradition seems easiest to explain on the supposition that R's
verb form, hasked, was that of Bx and that beta
merely normalized its spelling while F corrected the reading itself through his habitual use
of an A manuscript for proofing. hyre on þe hiȝe name
