Bosworth & Toller Anglo-Saxon Old English Dictionary - strid

According to the Old English Dictionary:

es;

strid
m. I. struggle, fight, contest :-- Strange geneátas da ne willaþ mē æt dam strīde geswīcan, Cd. Th. 19, i; Gen. 284. II. contention, dispute, strife of words :-- Hwæt scal dē swā lādlīc strīd wid dīnes hearran bodan? 41, 28; Gen. 663. Ðone lādan strīd, yfel and-wyrde, 36, 16; Gen. 572. [The word seems to occur only in that part of the Genesis which is supposed to be derived from an Old Saxon original, and to be a form borrowed from Old Saxon strīd. In the Liber Scintillarum strīþlīce glosses districte, 132, 9, and strīdnysse glosses districtionis, 123, 18; but these may be explained as errors for stīþlīce, stīdnysse: the nominative of the latter glossing districtio occurs 123, 9.] strid
