R.9.1KD.9.1
Sire dowelleth
dwellisR.9.1: Manuscript C also reads dwelles, but the A and C versions attest the
same present-tense verb form as F and most beta copies: dwelleth. R's
original reading, before editorial correction to dwellis, was a grotesque
error involving the accidental merger of two words (dowelleth), but the
form of that error makes clear that R's copytext attested the same verb form as that now
found in F and most other manuscripts. quod witt nauȝt a
day hennes .
