m. The word glosses collatio :-- Ymbeahtas collationes (the passage is: Haec x collationes patrum a Cassiano digestae propalabant, Ald. 13. In Hpt. Gl. 428, 7 collationes is glossed by race and explained by narrationes), Wrt. Voc. ii. 76, 80: 18, 3. Elsewhere the form is identical with ambiht :-- Ambechtae, oembecht collatio, Txts. 46, 187. Ambect, ambaect rationatio, 92, 866. Ambiht office is neuter, ymbeaht is masculine: it seems (?) as if the form had been connected with eahtian to consider, and the word were regarded as a compound, ymb-eaht. See Engl. Stud. xi. 492. ymbeaht
