a1300Cursor M. 941 (Gött.) Yon tre þat lijf was ine [Cott. þat lijf es in]. Ibid. 9674 (Gött.) Noe..in þat schipp allone was ine. c1400Ywaine & Gaw. 760 A pot with riche wine, And a pece to fil it yne. [Note. In the dialects in which it occurs, ine is the regular word for in preposition. The 12–13th c. documents in which it is used have also i in the connexions i þe, i þen, i þis, i þet, i þine, etc.; but these do not appear in the Ayenbite 14th c. Ine has been viewed as an extension of the prep. in with an inorganic e, and as a weakened or simplified form of inne; there are difficulties, historical or phonetic, in either view, though the latter is perhaps the less objectionable. Inne and ine are found side by side in the Lambeth Homilies.] |
