Q

Dictionnaire Anglo-Saxon de Bosworth & Toller - q

Selon le Dictionnaire Anglo-Saxon :

This letter occurs but seldom in Anglo-Saxon; in those native words where

Q
qu is now found, e. g. quick, quoth, cw or cu was written, cwic, cuic, cwæþ, cuæþ. In the glossary (belonging to the eighth century) given in Wrt. Voc. ii. 98 sqq. are six instances of words beginning with qu, and four others occur in the same volume; in the Blickling Gloss the form quémde glosses complacebam, and the foreign word reliquias retained its original form. q
