Wrǽc

Según el Diccionario de Inglés Antiguo:

e;

wrǽc

f. Vengeance. This form seems to be implied bv later English forms, e. g. Þatt was mikell wræche, þatt all follc for till helle, Orm. 19 ; don wrecne (rimes with speche, leache, teche), Misc. 143, 56 ; tak wrecne (rimes with preche), Alis. 2858: but there appears to be no instance in Old English of a nominative wrǽc which is certainly feminine ; where the gender of a nominative wræc is marked it is neuter. Some of the oblique eases given under wracu and wræc might belong to the word and perhaps the following passage :-- Hió cwǽdon : ' Sió his blód and his blódes wrǽc ofer ús and ofer Óre bearn, H. R. 7, 23. [Gif þu heuedest wrecne inumen, O. E. Homl. i. 197, 107. Unwreste þu best, gef þu wrecne ne secst, ii. 29, 25 : Laym. 29581. Min is þe wrecne (wrake, ) mihi vindictam, A. R. 186, l. Com on werlde wrecne and wrake, Gen. and Ex. 552. He heþ ynotne tó lite wreche, Ayenb. 45, 28. O. H. Ger. ráhha vindicta, ultio. Cf. Goth. wrékei persecution.] -wræc,wræc
