Glossary
The Glossary is accessible from the Beowulf manuscript, Edition, Transcript, and all ancillary texts.
Click any letter on the alphabet bar on the right to access a Glossary in the left frame for all words beginning with that letter.
Search the glossary using the simple search at
the top of the left frame. Use the 
,
, and 
buttons to insert special characters or simply cut and paste a word from
the edition into the text window. Use the enter key or 
button to
begin, and the left and right arrows to move to the next and previous matches. Note
that the search applies only to the glossary currently in the left frame, not to
the entire
glossary.
Click the headword in the first-level Glossary to link to additional information, including exhaustive references by folio-line and verse-line (e.g., 157v18:1263), links to related words and to vowel gradations of strong verbs, notices of emendations and conjectural restorations, etc..
Click the uppercase letter at the head of each glossary - in this example, letter 'C' - for linked information about the Glossary as well as for a Beowulf Bibliography.
Use the 'Go/Back' function on the web browser to return to the linked list or click any letter on the Glossary bar to return to the Glossary itself.
The gradation of vowels in strong verbs is perhaps the most difficult part of using the glossary.
To ease the problem oblique forms, such as first preterit for, are linked to their infinitives.
In addition, each class of strong verb (class 6 in the case of faran) is linked to examples of ablaut series occurring in that class in Beowulf. Click st. 6 to see the examples.
