Bosworth & Toller Anglo-Saxon Old English Dictionary - geond-smeágan
According to the Old English Dictionary:
- geond-smeágan
- Substitute: To search through, investigate, examine thoroughly:--Ꝥ wé geondsmeáge ðá dígolnesse úre heortan discussis penetralibus cordis nostri, Bd. 4, 3; Sch. 363, 1. Geondsmeád enucleata, Wrt. Voc. ii. 107, 25. In the Corpus Gloss. the entry immediately preceding that just given is, 'enixe, omnibus uirtutibus nitit,' This explains the mistake in Wrt. Voc. ii. 29, 36 enixe geondsmeád oððe geornlíce; geondsmeád belongs to enucleata, which has been omitted, while geornlíce renders enixe. [The two glossaries, it will be seen on comparison, appear closely connected at the parts cited.] geond-smeagan
