hornnaap ?
decurat, Wrt. Voc. ii. 98, 8. [Decurare = nimium curare (Migne). Could naap (= nāp) be p. t. of nīpan, used here figuratively of mental gloom? Further could horn = orn (ran) ? ; and could two quite different glosses have been suggested for the same Latin word, because the glosser was uncertain whether to connect the word with currere or curare ?] hornnaap
