1 ge-deorfleás

adj. This word in Glos. Prudent. Recd. 151, 73 is explained nil prosperum. The natural meaning would be without labour, trouble, which hardly agrees with that given above. Leo 230, 38, to connect the two, suggests the meaning without effort, so without result, success. ge-deorfleas,gedeorf-leas
