Usage notes
[edit]- To convey the sense "made of [material]," Old English typically uses adjectives like gylden, seolfren, and triewen instead of compounds. Thus wool socks are wyllene soccas, not *wulsoccas; an oak table is ǣċen bēod, not *ācbēod; a dirt floor is ierþenu flōr, not *eorþflōr; etc. There are however a few exceptions, such as stānweall (“stone wall”).
