Hleór-beran

Selon le Dictionnaire Anglo-Saxon :

:-- Eofor lic scionon [o]fer hleor beran gehroden golde fat [and] fyr heard feth wearde heold. Beo. Th. 612-6; B. 303-5. Grein and Heyne take

hleór-beran

hleor beran as a compound, the former explaining 'was auf dem Gesicht getragen wird, Helmvisier? [oder faciei munimentum?]' the latter rendering it cheek. Thorpe reads bæron, Kemble beran, an infinitive after scionon = they seemed [?]. But may not the verb on which beran depends be gewiton, scionon an adverb, the passage then being translated thus, they went bearing above their faces the boar's shape, fairly [scionon] adorned with gold? hleor-beran
