heden
an overcoat, a mantle, cloak :-- Heden cosla. Wrt. Voc. ii. 103, 25 : 13, 56 : gunna, 110, 19. Crúsne (q. v.) vel heden cocula, 135, 39: 136, 49. Þurh láréwlicum basincge, hedene, scicelse magistri melote, An. Ox. 1471. ¶ in the gloss: mastruga hæðen, Wrt. Voc. ii. 59, 30, perhaps hǽðen, not hæðen ( = heden) should be taken. In Isid. Orig. mastruca is explained as 'vestis Sardonica ex pelliculis ferarurn', and hæðen might refer (?) to Sardonica. heden
