To-wonde, pt. s. subj. (?) might fly in pieces, might become broken, 4. 102; or pt. s. (with substitution of the weak for the strong form, as in abreyde), flew in pieces, became broken. The latter is more likely. The form towond, flew in pieces, occurs in Sir Ferumbras, 2568 (see Stratmann), and answers to an A.S. *tō-wand, pt. t. of *to-windan. The simple form wand is properly intransitive, as in 'him þæt hēafod wand forð on þā flore,' his head flew (or rolled) forward on the floor (Judith, 110); and in 'him wand þæt hēafod of,' his head flew (or rolled) off, Oros.v. 2. Lastly, it is possible that we should read towond, the true pt. ​ t. form; we must then also read hond and lond; and, in fact, lond is preferable. The explanation 'whirl about' in the Century Dictionary is absurd. The spear would not be said 'almost to whirl about' or 'almost to revolve'; this involves a bathos. The form towonde in Layamon, 4537, seems to be a similar substitution for towond. It can hardly be from towendan (as in Stratmann), because that verb is properly transitive.

Undern, s. B 4412, E 260, 981. A particular time in the morning is here implied, either about 9 a.m., or somewhat later. As 9 a.m. is frequently called prime, perhaps we may take undern to mean about the middle of the forenoon (from 9 a.m. to 12), i.e. about half past 10. But see the note to E 260, where it is pointed out that the time of undern varied. It is allied to under, and means 'intervening period.' The original sense was probably mid-forenoon, i.e. at 9 a.m. (half-way between 6 and 12), or mid-afternoon, i.e. 3 p.m. (half-way between noon and 6 p.m.). Then, as prime shifted from 6 to 9 a.m., undern shifted from 9 to 10 or half-past ten. Not long ago, labourers spoke of their levenses or fourses, or their repasts at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Cf.

Underspore, v. thrust (the staff) under, push beneath, A 3465. The object was to lift the door off the hinges, partly by prising it up with a lever. I take the verb sporen to mean 'to spur,' hence to push or thrust, as when a rider uses his spurs. Cf. A.S. sporu, heel, spurnan, to kick, spurn; also O. H. G. widar-sporōn, to kick against; Lithuan. spir-ti, to strike against anything; Icel. spora, to spurn against.

ADDENDA.
The number of references might be largely increased; but I hope that the most material ones have been recorded. Of the new words found in the Complaint of Womanly Noblesse (see vol. iv. p. xxv), some have been included above. But I may here draw attention to allegeaunce, alleviation, in l. 22; and conforme, I conform, in l. 17. Other notable words are outrance (l. 26), souvenance (l. 14), and unbuxumnesse (l. 27). The occurrence of conforme is important, as shewing Chaucer's knowledge of the word; for the reading confirme in B 4. p 7. 61 is certainly an error for conforme. I here subjoin a few additional references and notes.
