Dict. enters the following quots. under ballow sb., and some recent editions of King Lear cite these examples in support of the Folio reading, they probably show compounds whose first element is balgh adj.

A shoal or sandbank.In quots. 1677 and ?c1760 perhaps a place name.Smyth's definition (quot. 1867), if it represents the same word, would seem to be a misunderstanding; it is repeated in some later glossaries.

† ballowadj.

Origin: Of uncertain origin.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps compare balgh adj., although a marginal note in the 1612 edition of the work glosses the meaning as gant (presumably gaunt adj.), which would not fit with this semantically. Alternatively, this word may be a transmission error for fallow adj.¹, although again the marginal gloss is not consistent with this.

Obsolete. rare.

Of uncertain meaning; perhaps: gaunt. Cf. balgh adj.
